Tribune Aelius:

"Mamercus Corvinus, as representitive of the rebel forces of Valerius Flaccus, you are under arrest and are to be confined in comfortable conditions here at Pergamum until further orders from the Imperator. Your family and its possessions will not be harmed. If you have anything of value to say or wish to change your loyalties, you may do so at any time."

"Guards!"

Ten legionares marched up and escorted Corvinus to his heavily guarded quarters.
