Chapter 119: Marigi’s Commercial Plan (Part 1)

Juleios reminded Epitenes, "If these newcomers arrive, they'll undoubtedly differ from the freedmen soldiers of the current Third Battalion. You may need to submit a proposal to the Senate and have the other senators discuss and review it. I can assure you, I'll do everything in my power to ensure the proposal passes."

"Understood!" Epitenes responded, his excitement barely contained.

The ceremony continued with the presentation of flags to the Company Commanders. Each company's flag was crowned with an iron statue of Tisiphone, the vengeful goddess of Greek mythology. The statue depicted her wielding a torch in one hand and a viper whip in the other. Below the statue, golden stars and the company's number were embroidered onto the flag.

The flags for the Platoon Leaders bore the statue of Cerberus, the three-headed watchdog of the underworld, at their peaks.
