Episode 3.3.a

>Vīlla Sextī, Pompēiī, Ītalia, 79 CE<

 3.3a

iterum es in vīllā Sextī. nam Priamum ab īrā Herculis servāvistis, et bene labōrāvistis.

 

Sextus rīdet. "bene! Herculēs et amīcī bene labōrāvērunt! labōrēsdēlectant. sed vestēs vestrae nōn bonae sunt. ecce, pecūniam vōbīs dō."

 

Sextus vōbīs pecūniam dat: vīgintī dēnāriōs. dēnāriī sunt pecūnia Rōmāna.

 

"ad forum īre dēbētis," inquit Sextus, "et novās rēs emere. emere est pecūniam dare et rem capere."

 

cum chartā vestrā ad forum (locus V) ītis. sed in viā vir stat. sanguis in veste eius est. vir vōs vocat.

 

"mercātor sum," inquit vir. mercātor est vir quī negōtium facit. "vir malus, quī in agrō labōrat, mē pulsāvit! ille agricola est stultus! mē iuvāte!"

 


Prompt: Decide whether or not to help the merchant. Look carefully at him first: a man this bloodied, with this story, may not be telling you everything.
