The Indian spice market is in a downturn, and Rome's supply of spices has been severely impacted. As a result, the city's citizens are concerned about the future of this vital industry. The elite of Rome are also expected to become angry at traders for their failure to find new trade routes with sufficient alacrity. Consequently, pepper and cinnamon will either become very expensive or disappear altogether.
Weather
The weather forecast for the city of Rome is currently sunny with clear skies. There is a low probability of rain, though it is possible. In contrast, the weather in Graecia is dreadful, with flooding expected. Fortunately, the weather in the rest of the empire is mild.
Legal Issue
The verdict is finally in for the case of Jackius Henris vs. Cooperius Kassius. The judge found that Jackius Henris was innocent and could return to chariot racing. However, Cooperius Kassius was issued a five-week ban. The judge said that the ruling was due to the lack of evidence in Kassiuses' case and that Jackius, as always, outdebated Cooperius. This was a closely watched case, and the outcome was a relief to Jackius and his supporters.
Sports
In the chariot race, Jackius Henris was in the lead for most of the race until Augustus tripped one of his horses by throwing a rock at it. Jackius lost the lead but still managed to place second. Augustus won his 16th race, which will be his last after 18 years of racing. The race was an absolute thriller, with Antonin Viverlri in third place for most of the last lap. The crowd cheered wildly as the chariots thundered around the track.
This gladiator match was unreal. The battle was a delight to watch, with 28 casualties. Two teams of 15 fought to the death. One team was led by captured rebel Firgus Antonson, and the other by 15 traitorous Roman legionnaires. The battle went down to the last man for 30 minutes. Then a one-on-one ensued, leading to a champion being crowned: Legionary Thamed Oranson, who won after the coward Firgus surrendered.
