Episode 3.1.a
>Vīlla Caeciliī, Pompēiī, Ītalia, 79 CE<
iterum es in vīllā Caeciliī.
Caecilius et servus in tablīnō sunt. Caecilius dīcit, servus scrībit. servus verba in cēram scrībit. cēra verba tenet.
Caecilius vōs spectat. "salvēte, amīcī!" inquit. "Caecilius epistulam scrībēbat." Caecilius Tiberium spectat et dīcit, "epistulam ad patruum tuum Salvium mittēbam. Salvius est frāter patris. habitat in Britanniā."
Tiberius rogat, "quid scrībis in epistulā, pater?"
"novās rēs Ītaliae nārrō," inquit Caecilius, "et maximē rēs Rōmae. nam novus imperātor Rōmam regit. pater eius mortuus est. nunc fīlius, Titus, imperātor est."
Caecilius ad vōs sē vertit.
"sed quid scītis vōs dē Rōmā?"
Prompt: The Demiurge thinks Caecilius's political views matter for finding the Lapis, since they may reveal whether he knows anything about the doings of the Societās Potentium. Find out as much as you can about the Emperor Titus from Caecilius.
Hint: Caecilius shares more freely if he thinks you already have a basic grasp of the imperial family, including the previous emperor (Titus's father, Vespasian).
