34 BC, city of Rome, Roman Empire

The forum was always busy, but particularly in this time of day, where people were rushing out of the Colosseum after the gladiator fights came to an end and they went on to visit the shops and mingle amongst each other. Quaestor Quintus Atteius Lunaris was no different, he was the one who had organised this whole event after all. He had responsibilities with treasury, of course, but someone had to make a public appearance, represent Emperor Augustus.

He made his way as he tried to avoid as much unnecessary conversation as possible, eager to simply reach the banquet room and drink with his peers. There was no need for more charming the people at the moment, thank Minerva. Just as he makes his way inside he bumps into another guest, causing him to scoff.

“My apologies.”
