Do you think that the Triumvirate was good or bad for Rome?

Hello again. It is now 70 B.C., and I am running to become consul of Rome with one of my acquaintances Pompey. We are hoping to become the consuls and we also hope to restore the Republic and bring back the tribunes to Rome. We also are looking to reduce some of the Senate's Power. I think that will be able to do many good things as the consul of Rome

  1. Great friend, it is impossible we lose because we are the most favored men in Rome. As I concluded Spartacus' revolt and took most of the credit, we became political rivals. I hope this election will drive us to peace with each other, and improve the good of the state, and really help my reputation after being known as an ally of Sulla.
