Chapter 10 - Rome

After the beginning of the meetings in the forum with the senators and the presentation of the new members who would help administer the kingdom and although some senators did not agree because the experience of having numerous in the social circles of power made them feel miserable too that this man was an old fox made for those who wanted to conspire but after fatusis imposed his authority the senators had no choice but to accept the situation but they would not give up like anything but would try by all means to make them fall.

When the monthly meeting in the forum was over, it was decided that from now on they would be held every three months since there was not much for him to do as a king other than protecting himself, although the judicial system is not perfect, the fact that people already know the words and recognize them, they know that they can report crimes that threaten their integrity, such as robbery or attempted murder, in addition to being a member of the patricians, they will only have to pay a fine to both the affected person and the affected person, if the government does not do it, it could endanger his life and that of his family, and if he finds out that I used the power to hide these facts, the army of the interior (it is like a kind of modern police) he has the right to massacre his family and collect his properties and distribute them among the poorest plebs and keep a percentage.

This made Rome one of the safest cities, plus tax collection depends on your profession and wealth , the senators, the king and his family are exempt from taxes, the patricians each month must pay taxes to the Publicani who received 2% of their wealth and their income, for the merchants every three months and had to pay 10% of their income as a tax, there was also a group that were the artisans, painters, sculptors and the entire working class of the kingdom who paid every 5 months 5% of their income including their wealth, but the peasants, tenants and landowners were different since their greatest income was the production of grain and a part of the meat, like the fishermen and their taxes were collected each year and it was not part of their production like grain or cattle since in the empire thanks to its agrarian reform and your state aid It abounds if not that they must pay with 10% of their income since most sold them to merchants, since it can be sown twice a year.

In wars though they are the military minister known as Magister militum, a name luodico decided to put on the highest status of the entire army and below the king or sovereign, they are inactive as factions are in charge of wars.

Education is booming and although there are irregularities since it was intended that women could also attend, there are many who disagree and set many traps and conspiracies, there are even cases where women who had the opportunity to attend, but had no power to support them were violated, making their voice to oppose them louder and louder.

The infrastructure, thanks to the studies of mathematics and engineers, each year increases public constructions and they become increasingly exquisite such as aqueducts, roads, walls, stone bridges, there were even cases that in the houses of families with more money they improved their villas to make them more pleasant, in addition to the construction of a prison in the depths of the earth, in a system of caves where food is supplied, oil imported from Egypt that serves as an illuminating system in all the caves since on the walls there is a ditch that pours continuously, even the prisoners are given tools to dig, but if you think that if they dig further they can escape you are very wrong since they never come out that makes them lose their senses in addition to the fact that the guards are distributed by towers of wood for an area of ​​​​one square kilometer that makes it impossible if you want to escape, in addition to the fact that in the cave systems you can If any crime occurs without being punished, the interior is truly hell causing people to fear not to commit crimes.

Even the culture is not as developed as Greece or the Egyptians or Medes, but thanks to the fact that people know how to read and write they can become poets, writers and stories like one of the famous luodic poems called the poem of the lost did that people would like to create more poems

The winds blow from the distant horizon

They're cold and distant, you feel them but you don't see them

People call you crazy, but is there any reasonable logic in the world?

The strong make the rules and the weak obey them, it's called the law of the jungle

(I created this poem, and you don't need to say that my talent is bad, but it's not that bad right, say yes)

While the kingdom was developing comprehensively from various areas that makes people want to learn like medicine since luodico there has been an introduction about this area like using distilled wines as a disinfectant (sorry Hippocrates).

The city is booming, the Latino leagues are expanding every day, everyone sees it beautiful but they don't know that it is already beginning to deteriorate, the 200th anniversary of the founding of Rome is approaching, but a storm was brewing in the royal family since lizuca reported that a brother would arrive next month to recognize his father, this statement made fatusis have to prepare since a man with the blood of luodico can inherit the throne since that is a decree and a family law, he does not care too much about lizuca since he is a woman and can be used as a chess piece but a man can cause differences in addition to the fact that once he is accepted he is considered an elder within the family, he cannot even kill him since fatusis knows that once he makes him playful he will no longer support him and that will make his government that was brilliant before become overshadowed and he wants that in history he considered him as a second founder of Rome and its uprising and not as the seventh king and the that begins the Dustin dynasty in the power of Rome.
