Again, nothing but sheer arrogance and hubris. How do you even dare to say that man is anything compared to the gods, yet alone that the gods have any interest in man beyond his sacrifices, games and the miscellaneous other pleasures that he serves them with?

What sheer arrogance to think that the gods were 'purposeless' prior to the creation of man, nevermind the claim that they weren't even in existence. You know nothing of the teachings of the ancients! Especially to think that 'we are masters of our own lives' is once more complete and utter hubris, for you betray no understanding of the power of moira and the ways of the gods.

On a more serious note, I find it interesting how you imbue Drusilla with your own enlightenment preconceptions and libertarian biases - something that, and I have no doubt that you yourself realise this, is not only out of character but would completely appall most if not all Romans and get yourself assassinated very very quickly.

You betray ignorance of the gods. The first tenet of greco-roman civilization was the one written above the temple of Delphi:

Know thyself.

Which means to know your place in relation to the gods, woman. To know that you are but a mere mortal, but yes, power sometimes blinds us into forgetting about things such as that. Messing about with the gods like you do betrays immense hubris as well - a vice that is despised greatly amongst the romans.

Meh, you can have it. I'll just unite the wandering tribes against you in a few hundred years.

Maybe that's becaues wisdom and virtue are not functions of salutatory address or title.

The name 'Livia' is one of the most beautiful female names I know of, right next to 'Lavinia' or 'Valerie'. On that note, although I cannot question Shakespeare's taste, his decision to add an 'O' infront of 'Livia' is something I cannot support.

Your name is 'Ami', right? That's a pretty cool one too. Japanese, isn't it?

Your gods, they sound unfamiliar. I shall have to elect an ambassador to liase on this issue on my behalf - I would go myself, of course, but I cannot forfeit the security of my kingdom to a lesser in my absence, and I doubt the illusion of a colony movement would impress upon your chieftains positively.

I will order our finest artists to create supplementary images that best show the nature of the old gods in our records.

Pah. If religion must be had, then we'll return to the old gods, the worthy gods. Once more shall the crowws of Odin take flight and observe humanity, once more shall the god pass his unquestionable judgement upon us all.

He's one I could respect.

Religion eh... ohh, now you're unleashing a whole new potential storm of chaos upon my citizenry!

I will have to inspect their religions and gods on a personal basis and decide which best serves my vision of the future for my kingdom, and roll with that.

Failing satisfaction with the above, I will abolish any church doctrine propositions and enforce a decree forbiding the practice of religion within my kingdom, and encourage the pursuit of something more worthwhile like say, the social sciences. The ban on religious practice will be lifted in direct correlation with my judgement of how enlightened the population has become.

I have a strong suspicion the latter will prove more tempting.
