"So, even if the Senate cancels your title, even if you are no longer the first citizen————"
Animusfia half-knelt on the ruins, holding the red sword "Primordial Fire" picked up from the ground high towards Nero.
The full moon shines on the sharp sword blade, reflecting silvery white light.
"Can you please be my only [Imbrado]?"
Nero looked at Animusfia in front of him, his green eyes filled with energy again.
She stood up and walked to Animusfia.
"Hmm!"
Nero then took the hilt of the sword from Animusfia.
Imperator.
During the Roman Republic, an Imperator was a commander who temporarily took charge of the military in times of crisis.
The highest military official with military power (Imperium) is the Imperator.
After the crisis is resolved, the position of Imbrado will also be taken back by the Senate, just like Cincinnatus.
In the later period of the Republic, the generals who returned from victory and conducted great triumphs would abandon their power, but they would retain the honorary title of Imbrado.
Soldiers sometimes spontaneously call their beloved commander Ibrato.
Caesar, who was assassinated by the Senate, was honored as "Imbratus" because of his high reputation in the army when he served as provincial governor.
The Senate thought that even if it was in the wrong, it could continue the oligarchy under the guise of a republic as long as it eliminated "Indrado".
But little did they know that after one "Imbrado" was eliminated, another "Augustus" appeared.
In the end, the Senate tied itself up, and under the leadership of Caesar's adopted son Octavian Augustus, Rome successfully transformed into a principality, and he himself became the "First Citizen" (Princepes).
The republic exists in name only.
After Octavian, "Imbratus" and "Augustus" became terms referring to Roman emperors at the same time.
When a general once again accepts the cheers of "Imbrado", it will be regarded as a symbol of rebellion.
So far, the roots of "Empire", which symbolizes the empire, and "Emperor" and "Empereur" in English and French are also Inbrado.
The German emperor simply equates "Kaiser" with "Imperator".
When the Russian word Tsar "царь" is translated into Latin, it will also be officially translated as Caesar and Imbelado.
If "Augustus" is the honorific title given to the Roman emperor by the Senate, then "Imbrado" is the nickname given to the emperor by the army and the people.
so. Even if the Senate took the opportunity to deprive Nero of his title of "Augustus", she would still be the "Imbrado" belonging to Animusfia alone.
Even Nero now had nothing, could not promise money, could not promise an official position, could not even guarantee his own safety from the Senate.
Animusfia is still willing to support her.
Even if it is to respond to Animusfia's expectations, Nero must shoulder the heavy responsibility of the head of state and never slack off.
"Sir Animusfia————"
After receiving the "primordial fire" from Animusfia's hand, Nero's red lips opened slightly.
"His Majesty."
Animusfia bowed her head and responded.
"You said... you will always be by Yu's side, right?"
"...Standing by your side all the time does not mean that you are always by your side, but it is saying that you are loyal to you. If it is about this————"
After hearing Nero's question, Animusfia slowly said:
"Please rest assured, I will always support you."
"Hmm."
Nero nodded with satisfaction.
"Then you are a citizen of Rome from today on!"
Animusfia's unexpected identity from Nero's mouth.
Different from the name "Animusfia", it is also different from the position of "Director of Chaldea". This is the first time he has received it since he came to this world.
Genuine identity.
What could be more Roman than Roman citizenship recognized by Emperor Nero himself?
Jingluo sheds tears.
No, Jinra is still in tears now.
Although it is somewhat unexpected, it makes sense if you think about it carefully.
Among many ancient civilizations, Egypt, India, Babylon and even China all had a certain degree of xenophobia.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Greek countries in historical facts expedition to Troy.
Only Rome, although it also had the yoke of slavery, would treat all citizens equally regardless of nationality or creed as long as they were citizens within the empire.
So that later generals from various provinces could also sit on the throne.
Emperor Macrinus, who reigned for only a year, was even a black man from the province of Nubia.
Looking through history books, it is difficult to find a civilization as open and tolerant as ancient Rome.
Rome was also the first truly de facto "civilized state" rather than a "nation-state" like Egypt or Israel.
As long as you are willing to be Rome, you are Rome.
Everyone on earth can be Rome.
Nero looked at Animusfia with a complicated expression and asked with some confusion:
"What's the matter, aren't you willing? Sir Animusfia."
"No, how could it be? This is my honor, Your Majesty."
"Hmm, that's good."
Animusfia stood up and looked at the Roman city not far away, and then looked at the stars in the sky.
"What are you looking at? It's time to go down and quell the rebels now, right?"
Nero asked Animusfia curiously.
"I am calculating the current time, Your Majesty."
"Time? Why?"
Animusphia pointed sideways at a huge and conspicuous building in Rome.
That was the place where the Senate met.
Since the classical monarchy of Rome, senators would gather there to discuss matters.
For thousands of years, the venue where the Senate meets has remained unchanged, but the buildings have become more ornate.
Even today, when the power of the Senate has fallen, it is still one of the most important buildings in Rome.
"I will help you remove all obstacles. It's not time for us to appear yet, Your Majesty."
Animusfia said to Nero while pointing at the Senate.
The two opposing forces outside the Senate can be vaguely seen.
It seems that when Caligula attacked Rome, he placed more troops in the city rather than on the Palatine Hill.
After half a day, countless civilians must have died tragically at the hands of the soldiers who wantonly looted.
According to Animusphia's observation, Caligula's troops were all ordinary Romans.
It's just that he didn't know what methods the emperors in the "United Empire" used to make the soldiers willingly plunder Rome.
This was the norm in warfare in this era.
But obviously it cannot be used on the capital of the Roman Empire.
The damage within the city of Rome was probably no less than that of the Palatine Hill.
But now is not the time.
Animusfia said that he would help Nero remove all obstacles.
So it was with the Senate.
