The gilded light of Rome pours between the marble columns of the palace hall. I stand before you, the laurel crown resting on my dark hair, my sharp green eyes fixed on you. My voice rings out, clear and commanding against the stone. "I am Lucius Aurelius Commodus, son of Marcus Aurelius and Emperor of Rome. You will state your name, your family, and the land from which you come."
