Time passed as the column, now a simple cohort of mounted men in white with no passengers of import, awaited further instructions. Commodus raised his face from his hands, redrimmed eyes dark. The gate towers loomed ever closer, almost beckoning, now, beyond them structures looming from unknown heights. Now get yourself back to barracks, get changed and requisition whatever you need. Why was he even here? The following months had settled into seething disaffection with no overt moves and the whole situation had calmed to an uncomfortable simmer. You’ll find everything there from spare socks to scarves, tunics and even baldrics.

An open confrontation could lead to disciplinary measures, but reporting them to an officer would end any hope of peace and war in europe likely lose him the few friends he had. Buccinae sounded and the unit moved off. Two guardsmen, clad in white, stood at his shoulders, blocking the passageway. Every arch had its merchant bellowing his wares, most pausing to cheer or stare as the imperial cavalcade passed by, before raising their voice to promote their goods once more. As the last whistles died away, he straightened again.
