Nerva Note #11

by Gaius Marcellus Nerva

Transcript

It seems that some of our neighbors have grown weary of our raiding. Today, I received an envoy from the Golden Arrows who proposed a lucrative trade agreement between our two tribes, with the caveat that we never encroach on the territory or convoys of the Golden Arrows or any of their allies.

I have no interest in trade agreements, but I do know how to seize an opportunity. So instead of accepting right away, I proposed that we ratify the agreement with his tribe's leaders on a neutral site.

I have planned long enough. It is time for the New Legion to resume its march.

Victory through discipline

Original text

Videtur quod simplex quis enarrabit quia quidam ex nobis vicini commeatu fessi populationibus nostris. Hodie proponitur quaestuosam mercaturam accepit legatum gens inter duas divisi tribus, ut caveat ne irrumpat in agros sociorum aut tribus aut commeatus.

Nulla mihi commercia pacta, sed occasione nesciunt. Quin potius statim deditus, quam proposui in neutram sanciendum foedus site suis principes.

Longum putavi. Tempus recens admota legio iter suum prosequi.
