In the last issue, we described the further actions of Mark Anthony to seize power for his beloved and his neat steps to “reign” in Rome. Everything would be fine, but Guy Octavius suddenly sailed from Albania. Rather, after accepting the legacy of the late dictator, Gaius Julius Caesar Octavian became the full name of the promising guy.
In the last issue, the hit hit Mark Anthony put raking paws both on the state treasury and on the entire archive of the correspondence of the late Caesar, and only the very unexpected testament of the dictator somewhat confused his plans. March 19, taking with him the bloodied rags that were recently the toga of the “father of the nation,” Anthony went with guard to the funeral of Guy Julius.
In the last issue, we described in detail how the conspirators, led by Mark Junius Brutus, fulfilled their plan to reduce the number of Roman dictators per square meter. We go further. The benevolent hopes of the idealists of the tyrannobors broke about the harsh way of life - the people of Rome did not understand the unexpected murder of the "father of the nation" and inconsolably mourned, and sometimes grief took quite violent forms.
The previous issue described how Guy Julius Caesar was building the Roman Democratic Republic around himself at a pace of Stakhanov’s pace, causing certain bad questions for some of the senators, which were gradually turning into tame parrots. Since not everyone wanted to scream at the command about piastres and the ass, the core of the conspirators formed, and even Mark Junius Brutus nevertheless decided on the inevitable in the name of the ideals of freedom and real Rome.
44 year BC. The ruler of Dacia becomes a king with a sweet name Komosik, Cleopatra poisons Ptolemy XIV, Indo-Scythian kings conquer Gandhara. And in Rome, Mark Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longin, with their associates, inflict 23 stab wounds on Guy Julius Caesar, dictator of the Roman Republic, which Caesar cannot survive.
In the previous issue, Spartak with the help of speed and tenacity took over two consular armies, but Crixus, his comrade, did not master this feat and died the death of the brave. The senate, in sorrow and hopelessness, appointed the chief responsible for resolving the gladiator issue of a citizen named Mark Licinius Crassus. At the time of the events described, the aforementioned Roman was already 43 years old, and most of all he was known for the multi-valued amounts on accounts in Swiss banks.
In the last issue, the scythe did find on the stone - Rome opposed the insolence and numerical superiority of the runaway slaves with cold calculation and the iron legions of Crassus. Having solved the problems with the fighting spirit of his troops, Mark Licinius unceasingly drove the enemy back to the south, now and then entering into small skirmishes with the Thracian troops lagging behind or vigilant.
In the last issue, Spartak associates drove praetor armies in southern Italy and increased their numbers by freeing up slaves and recruiting a variety of outcasts, which were in short supply both in cities and on the highway. In the Senate, the gladiators were greatly offended and decided to raise rates by throwing two consuls with four legions on the table - about 30 thousand people.
In a previous issue, Spartak and company showed the Praetorian army that flimsy militia was no match for the hungry and evil gladiators-climbers, but in Rome they were saddened and appointed the next person in charge of liquidating the unrest in the south. They became Praetor Publius Varius. Out of habit, having collected two thousand people anyway, Publius thought again - at Claudius he didn’t succeed in throwing gladiators with meat at all, it was not worth repeating mistakes.
In the last issue, 78 hefty foreheads left the prison and, having joyfully robbed the surrounding rich estates, decided to keep the defenses on Vesuvius. The local forces of law and order in the person of the praetor Claudius, sighing, broke away from blissful idleness and began to forcefully resolve the issue with unbridled slaves.
