Arturo Sandus was coming, everyone was sure of that, but he doubted anyone could stop him. You only had to look out from the palace balcony to see the enormous metal ship sitting offshore to know the Eastern Empire was simply outclassed.
He had no desire to be “put aside” which he rather thought would involve something other than a comfortable retirement. When you thought about the Imperial Court, one could be mistaken for thinking he’d be safer with the Republicans!
Arturo Sandus has resumed his drive to restore the Republic. His friend and second in command, Valerius, is staging a seaborne attack on Constantinopolis to distract the Imperials while he sails down the Danuvius and takes their Field Army in Thrace by surprise.
And then there are the Sassanians to try to keep the peace with. Nobody has done well against them, so at this stage he would be happy for peaceful relations. The trouble is the King of Kings has personally guaranteed young Flavius as Imperator as a favor to the now-dead Emperor Arcadius.
If it’s not one thing, it’s another!
