Chapter 5715 War Booty(Erotic/Sex Acts):>Ep6
- Since you're probably wondering, the most expensive slaves I'd heard of were a successful gladiator who went for thirty thousand denari, and a beautiful woman five Senators all wanted. The richest bought her for the astounding sum of six gold talents! A quarter million denari! That's enough money to fund three entire legions for a year, the weight of three grown men in GOLD! Building the Colosseum in Rome only cost twice that. I doubt more than a hundred people alive have even seen that much gold in person.
- Pullo made me an offer. If I didn't want to stay with the army, I could settle in Caledonia with a young widow as my new wife, two others as concubines, and their four young children. I would get a town to run as their Patrician and command the local Auxilia, or militia. I would have land three times the size of my island, 500 part-time soldiers under my command, and three women in my bed instead of one.
- It would have tempted many men, but I politely declined. I loved my wife and sons, and the town I grew up in. There was also a good chance that soon I might command a Legion of my own!
