CITIZENS OF OUR REVERED EMPIRE OF ROME,
AND TO OUR HONORABLE ALLIES, TO OUR SERVANTS, OUR SUBJECTS, ALL PEOPLES OF THE WORLD,
AND TO THE ATTENTION OF ALL ENEMIES OF OUR NEW ROMAN EMPIRE,
IT IS HEREBY ANNOUNCED AND DECLARED:
that,
The S.P.Q.R, is no more.
The Roman Senate, is no more.
THE ONCE ROMAN REPUBLIC IS NOW A ROMAN EMPIRE
The combined armies of the once honorable Roman Senate have fallen in battle outside the walls of Rome, at the hands of the forces of the House of Brutii, and our former Pontifex Maximus, his Greatness Cassius Brutus.
Cassius Brutus seeks reconciliation with the houses of Julii, and of Scipii
Cassius Brutus does Not seek retribution for those once opposed to him or his House, save for those treasonous factions that stubbornly, lawlessly, greedily, ignorantly, seditiously continue to oppose the new ruling family of Rome, the House of Brutti.
To the House of Scipii, to the House of Julii...the House of Brutii demands the return of all cities held under rebel control, and will seek alliance with any who wish to accept our diplomatic treaties, or any who wish to submit themselves willingly, in glorious servitude, as protectorates of the now ruling faction of the City of Rome.
Cassius Brutus acknowledges the brilliance and bravery of all Roman soldiers and Generals, none more so than our Hero of Rome, Vibius the Great, whose armies set upon the world a new order under the auspices of Rome. Cassius Brutus dedicates the terrific Victory to Vibius, and will hold games in his honor in many of our great cities, notably in the City of Alexandria, a favored jewel sat by the Gods upon the world, on which he so loved to rest his eyes and ambitions.
To heroic men, may the Gods honor them, as we must honor the Gods.
E Pluribus, Invictus Unum.
----Manius Brutus, heir to the leadership of the House of Brutii
