The Union of Rome and Calabria
The wedding was to be magnificent- even if it was in the christian style, thought "Prince" Tiberius Milliari
Tiberius was hardley a prince- Rome had none, it was arepublic- but durnign the itallic wars to regain Etruscan, and Umbrian soil his familly had made agrea tname for itself, and hed with few exception, re-e;ected to the status of consul for the last 200 years- more or less amounting to 100 years of the house milliarii being the guiding hand of Rome...
what more, the "prince" was a polytheist- and had no plans of eve rchanging- no, he had personal experince of the grandu, and divine good that was that of the Gods- he would never forsake them- but to have a christian wedding, even if barbaric in his eyers, was what Rome needed to regain the south- besides, it would please the ever shrinking christian minority- as in these dark times, despite a fervent following int he south, the old way were returnign to Rome, at leas tin terms of religions ideals- politicalls, and scientifically, well things were floruishng, and new ideas were the word of the day, as artisians from all over the land were drawn to rome to add touches of class and fineese to the migth forum- the center peice of the republic!
unity was amust in these times, and the Roman people wer e willing to give a gesture to the christians if need be to secure calabria... as well as one day Tiberius hoped, the rest of old Itailla...
