 Search for New Emperor is On , Citizens Hoping for A Kind but Firm Ruler


  After the gruesome murder of Emperor Domitian last night , the search for a new emperor of Rome is on. Citizens are hoping for a ruler that will improve the economy and build more aqueducts to support agriculture.

  There are a few candidates for the position, such as Marcus Norbanus, a senator and a trusted friend of the former empress. He is a gifted scholar and a descendant of former Emperor Augustus.

  There is much room for improvement within Rome’s empire , and many citizens are hoping for a ruler that cares about the needs of the people as well as the empire’s. A recent interview with a tavern keeper expressed his concern for irrigation and the construction of more aqueducts, “ The weather is dry and the land is parched without rain, after 2 summers of no rain , the land is dry and food is running low for us middle class.. “.*

  Will the next ruler make the empire reign supreme and bring us to a new age of glory? The royal courts believe so , but only time can prove such , so the citizens will have to hope for better days.
