Cimber rises to his feet. With a fresh challenge, a new smile crosses his face.

Great fathers of Rome. Am I to understand all this correctly? We are to pilfer the greatest treasure in Alexandria while we stabilizing the city from a riot that is stirred up by treasonous elements? I dare say we will have the entire city turned upside down before peace can be restored! We will help elevate the crisis at hand to a full-scale war. I have requested that a legion be sent to Alexandria as it matches the estimates requested by my communications with Commodus Atrebas. Here we are sending our most capable generals, including now the consul Nerva, to suppress an uprising. Naturally Casca wants to send more legions to Egypt. They will be needed once the entire country revolts from Roman rule after we take the first scroll out of its pigeon hole.
