Chapter 57: Purging the Senate

Days had passed since Marcellus ascended to the Throne, and in this time he had been busy drafting a plan of national defense against the many enemies he had created. While Marcellus was busy enacting emergency measures to stabilize the realm. The surviving senators had gathered in the sacred halls of the Roman Senate to discuss their next move. 

Among the dozens of men gathered, one was an elderly man who had served in the Senate for many years. His name was Albinius, and he gathered the men before him to resist the rule of this new self proclaimed Emperor. Now that the Empire was in chaos, it was time to restore the former powers of the Senate, or so he thought. Thus, he spoke with passion about his vision to the other senators.
