Aurelius: "The world beyond Rome's borders is not the one you once knew. It is a world of opportunity, a world ripe for conquest, be it by sword, coin, pen or dagger! Did the gods bring us here by mere whim? Of course not! I have received, and delivered to our Emperor, the divine mandate: We have been tasked with the most glorious of missions, that is to Make. This. World. ROMAN! The four greatest empires in the history of the old world have been chosen for this challenge. The time has come to show this new world, under the gods' watchful eyes, that we are not merely one of the four best, but THE empire that will rule all land. I know much of the other empires selected, and I can say with absolute certainty that they are filled with nothing but savages, weaklings, and fools. And though three other empires were selected for this "contest" it was completely unnecessary, Rome's superiority is plainly evident. Soon the people of this world will come to understand this. Only Rome is worthy or capable of bringing the light of civilization to the barbarians inhabiting these lands. There can be only one winner, and it shall be ROME! I ask that every Roman be prepared for great change as the opportunities brought about by the events to come bring a new era of prosperity and advancement upon Rome. Today I call to all our soldiers and merchants, our artists, artisans, our senators, our spies and all who proudly call themselves Romans! Be prepared, for as soon as we're done scouting our new neighbors, we shall bring them into the fold of the Roman empire by whatever means appear most appropriate."
And now for the big finish!
