Since Marcellus first assumed the role of Emperor, he had been met with resistance at every corner. Though he butchered the senate, and crucified those who were engaged in extensive corruption, these brutal actions had not entirely deterred the wealthy elites from conspiring against him. The Frumentarii had been reorganized to infiltrate these small conspiracies, and now, under the direction of Sigefrida, they had gained much viable intel.
The most recent threat report shows that many of these conspiracies had been abandoned. Largely due to the massive economic upturn that was beginning to take place as a result of the distillation and pottery business that Marcellus had introduced. In particular, the pottery was being sold not only in Roman borders, but across the Sassanid Empire and all the way to India.
