A route march for the second cohort ...

The legionary fort prefect (praefectus castrorum), is ensuring the legion is ready for campaign; he thinks the second cohort is looking a bit sloppy and wants them out on a route march to toughen them up-  the Pilus Prior 2nd Cohort, responds "Yes Sir, I'll get them marching.."

The 2nd cohort starts to form up ....

Trouble with slaves ...

The Governor decides on the fate of a couple of runaway slaves, Athenicus and Aelia, on his estate who have been captured..

The Governor, usually lenient, makes his decision - as Athenicus has been a frequent trouble maker and attempted escape before he decides to send him to his own gladiator school;  Aelia will be made to work in the fields for a month before returning to duties in his palace.

The Governor visits the temple ....

The aim from now on is continue in a semi-story mode with little scenes etc identifying newly completed items as I go with a note at the bottom of the post 

The governor, unsure of the next action to take over the unrest in the local tribes,  has visited a temple to make a sacrifice and take the auspices from the resident augur.....

Meanwhile at a 'checkpoint' near Botulinum ...

Centurion: Let them go, these are not the slaves we're looking for.

[new items: 
Temple - altar with sacrifice and priest - Atlantic 1/32
Checkpoint - two females and one male figure (at back) from Marx, with slight conversions.]
