The Job

The Girls of My Imagation

As you enter the first large city of over a million people, everything looks like it is doing well in Rome. Chariots and wagons pulled by, horses and oxen loaded with goods of Caesar is very concerned that there is a slowdown in the speed in which the projects are progressing. It is because so many workers are dying. He is now taking slaves from wealthy Romans. This of course has angered very important people of Rome.

Caesar brings together his advisers and the conclusions were to start another war in order to get more slaves. This will mean ore taxes from all the people of Rome, but for Caesar, it is the best way to get building of the bridge done.

When the news is out and the people hear about it, they became unhappy and begin leaving paintings of Caesar stealing their money. Vulgar hateful messages what they think of him are left over Rome. Caesar sends those whom he finds and believes they have done these deeds. Sentences them to be killed.

Caesar knows this is going to cause lots of unrest in the country of Rome so he enters the Senate and sanding before them and says Senators, I am here, demanding your help by sending your messengers to the generals throughout the empire to bring their armies together and begin a war. We are in short supply of slaves and we need the war gains to fill our needs in Rome and increase the greatness of our city. We all will profit from this.

A senator speaks up, Great Caesar, we need a means to get the people more in line with this war.

Caesar answers the senator, "Senator, first of all we need a great victory, the sooner the better, and is one of the reasons why I want to start it up as soon as we can. With this victory, I will present a large celebration. Make it a holiday for everyone. Even including the slaves. Then
