skel Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 that would depend entirely on what time period and what were my concerns at the time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spartacus Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 For Skels sake and for clarity reasons the idea of the post was that YOU were to choose the time, place and reasons for your speech!! If you were given a chance to speak about anything at anytime in the senate, then what would you say? There, I cant be any clearer than that!

Guest spartacus Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 For my speech I would object to the building of the Colisseum, simply because of the killings/murders that took place there! I would advise the money for it would be of better use if it was put towards improving conditions for the poorer citizens! That said, I would probably end up lion meat!!

Augustus Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I would give a hundred reason to fortify and secure the border with Germania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pompeius magnus Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 My speech would be in support for the agarian legislation that should have been passed much earlier than it did, then I would have been promptly assassinated by an agent working for a leading aristocratic family.

haimore Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I'd address the Senate on March 13th 44BC and warn them of the impending disaster if Ceasar is assasinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyGee Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I would adress the Senate and give them 1001 Reasons to give me loads of money.... ( serious answer to be inserted here at a later date ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 My speech would be in support for the agarian legislation that should have been passed much earlier than it did, then I would have been promptly assassinated by an agent working for a leading aristocratic family.

Scaevola Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I would speak to them during 306 BCE and warn them to negotiate freedom of action on Sicily with their Carthaginian allies, since Italy is naturally invaded through Messana and its environs. Also I would urge them to take decisive against the greek colonies in the south. Bring them into the league by hard negotiation or military force before they can call once again to their greek homeland for military aid.

Primus Pilus Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I would encourage extending Caesar's imperium in Gaul and allowing him to run for the consulship in abstentia. Convincing them that failing to do so will lead to a civil war in which Caesar will win would be the hard part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
