aere perennius | a meme of ancient rome

[midship]

Whether born there, dragged there, or dumped through space-time, you are now legally required to party like it's 58 AD.

1. Bread & Circus: Gladiators and charioteers! Fights to the death! Heart-pounding races! Naval battles in the middle of the city! Wild animal attacks you can gamble on! Are you there to watch and cheer on your favorite fighter? Are you one of the attractions, fighting or racing for the crowd's approval? Or is there a moment where the two worlds meet?

2. Senate Proceedings: Debate with your fellow Senators about the fate and laws of the pinnacle of ancient modern civilization. Wheel and deal, wheedle and beg; work that big old brain of yours for the compromise of the pre-century. Or maybe just organize a good political stabbing. Whichever.

3. Ready the Triclinium: After a long day of whatever it was you were doing, everyone likes a good party to relax. Bring on the wine and food! Eat, drink and be sloppy! Revel in the streets in worship of your fave friendly(ish) gods, or party in the sheets when dinner inevitably devolves into an orgy.

4. Rubicons and Alps: You fight for the Emperor, and the Emperor wants more lands added to the Empire! See foreign lands, meet interesting people, and then kill them and subjugate them under Roman rule. Maybe you're far from home, or in the heat of battle, or just training up the newbies lest those upstart Carthaginians get any belligerent ideas.

5. Arma Virumque Cano: It's a time of violence and carnage and actually quite advanced sewage systems, but it's also a time of fine and delicate are. Stroll through a library and indulge in a little current-history research. Stop by a theatre and be titillated by the gods springing from the machine. Compose epic sagas to win immortal fame and the admiration of potential orgy-mates. Sculpt something?

6. Dies Fasti: Fasti post-game shenanigans or AU happenings? We've got your Chosen right here, bucko.
