In the space of time between the attack by the Tusker Confederation in the years 237 to 245, the Tuskers sought to deprive Rome of her abundance in pray mammals on which the growing Republic required for both food and slave labor. The Tuskers invited desperate pray mammals to escape to their territory to the north, a vast expanse of wild wilderness beyond a natural defensive boarder, the mighty Roana River. Until Cesar...five Roman counsels would try to forge the unpredictable currents of the Roana with the forces needed for invasion. Five times those counsels were returned to Rome with their legions and their bodies cut to shreds. With pray mammals fleeing in great numbers, the predators of the Roman Republic could not survive long as they would be forced to deplete their on hand stocks of pray food and slaves. But of course the Romans were not ones to sit and belly ache on their troubles. Here was the birth of the Roman Navy.\n\n       But although the Navy could extend both conquest to other lands and provide Rome with abundant fish from the seas, that alone would not sustain the Republic. The answer lay in conquest of the Tusker land called by the Romans, Ispania. Other Roman generals thought the feat too impossible but they weren’t Julius Cesar.\n\n     Cesar was unlike any Wolf general in the classical Lupinian sense. Born into lowly peasant stock, Cesar was a furnace when it came to both ruthlessness and ambition. He had an exceptionally keen mind which was fast thinking, fast adapting and as voluminous as a modern zip drive when it came to storing and recalling information. Above all else? Cesar listened to anyone who offered counsel, ideas or advice be they a lowly slave or a Patriarch…\n\n     “All crawlers and critters are my superiors, that I may learn from them.” Was a standard that Cesar lived by. In oration he was astounding, in leadership he was unmatched, in brute force of will? If he’d ordered his legions to capture hell, they could probably have done it without batting an eye because they always knew that Cesar was with them.\n\n      In 372, with the Bambinus rebellion in its’ second year, Cesar departed Rome with eight heavy legions 50,000 tigers, Lions, Panthers, Wolves and many other predators and slaves to do that which could not be done. When the Senate demanded to know his plans, Cesar replied simply...”I’m going to the meat market...do not disturb me.”\n\n      He arrived at the southern banks of the Roana River in early year 373 and looked out over the imposing barrier curling his lips as he thought of a way to cross it. Then one day as he sat throwing stones into the water, one of his servants came up to him and tugged on his armor…\n\n      It was an otter named Questriatus who pointed out over the Roana and said to Cesar...”My father? Why do you not bridge it?”\n\n      Cesar simply looked at his servant and replied. “Why don’t you prove that I can?”\n\n      Questriatus fetched a wind of rope and a stone and set out swimming over the Roana. He came back hours later to tell Cesar that though expansive with rough currents, the Roana was only 30 feet deep at best. Cesar went to his Chief engineer with the information. When the engineer told him how stupid it was to trust the advice of a slave? Cesar made his Chief Engineer a slave and his servant Questriatus both a free mammal and his new Chief Engineer.\n\n      The Questria Bridge at Roana became the most amazing marvel of engineering in the Middle Age, not only for its’ design but for the speed in which Caesar built it. Nothing would horrify the Tuskers more as the Romans, with ant like industrial and mechanical efficiency, cut down the forest around them and followed Questriatus’s directions to span across the Ronana. Cesar made sure that the Tuskers and their many inhabitants directed their worry and attention on his building project, enough of a ruse to allow part of his massive force to forge the river farther down stream.\n\n     Cesar gave the mission of the flanking penetration to  Haroldius Augustinian Graylus’s son Williamus Graylus. The order was simple….run wild, rape, kill and sew panic in the enemy rear. Graylus’s two legions, 20,000 troops , after forging the Roana by boats over three nights to the west of the bridge, slammed into the Tusker’s Capital city of Methiolas far to the Tusker rear, just as the Questria Bridge touched the Tusker banks of the river….\n\n     What came after it was a brutal holocaust with the Tusker’s caught in a vice. Cesar personally ripped the tusks out of the great grandson of Tantorius Getorex and roasted him alive over an enormous fire pit stoked with the fat from his entire family. In Year 375, Cesar “pacified” Ispania. It was a year later while ruling over the new province and sending thousands of its’ pray mammals south to be butchered or made slaves that Cesar got word of the turmoil being caused by Graka in Rome. He left Ispania to a confident subordinate and two Legions while his remaining force sped south towards Rome.\n\n      As Cesar began his march back to Rome however...Cassius Pompeii was already on the outskirts of the city demanding that Graka disband his legions and step down from his self-proclamation of dictator. Still unaware that Haroldius Augustinian Graylus was a patron of Cesar and believing that Cesar was still in Ispania, Graka turned to the powerful banker Graylus to help him raise more legionares to face down Pompeii. Haroldius played a very dangerous game between the two powerful counsels, plotting to weaken both of them for Cesar’s arrival.\n\n      Of course Graylus would help Graka fill his ranks...fill them with Cesarian loyalists. On October 28th, year 376 while facing Pompeii’s legions outside of Rome...the Cesarian loyalists triggered a battle while Graka attempted to negotiate a deal with Pompeii. In the midst of this battle...the Cesarians abandoned Graka’s right flank and Pompeii rolled over Graka’s weakened lines like a wheat blade. Graka ran from the battle and promptly hung himself from a tree near the Forum.\n\n      Now for the second time, a Roman general entered the capital city with armed troops and as expected…Pompeii purged the Senate, sent soldiers to kill political opponents and promised the citizens that all would return as it was before….just be patient and don’t be stupid to resist. He then dispatched a herald (a messenger) to find Cesar and warn him to both disband his legions and never show his snoot through the gates of Rome. As if Cesar would listen. What Pompeii didn’t know was that Cesar was already inside the gates. The first indication he had that his position was extremely dangerous was the yellowish glow outside his bedroom window as he slept one night in his mansion. Cesarian loyalists had quietly pounced upon the legionary barracks housing Pompeii’s cavalry troops. They bolted the doors, shuttered and bolted the windows then set the buildings on fire.\n\n      It was a classic ruse tactic. As Pompeii’s forces rose from their sleep to deal with the catastrophe...Cesar's legions poured into the city through the four main gates and crashed into the still sleepy legions. Pompeii had been caught naked, his troops were spared if they surrendered, butchered if they did not. Pompeii was forced to flee with his remaining troops to the port of Cortona (Now Sahara Square) where he commandeered five war galleys and sailed into the open sea.\n\n     Cesar turned to his captains and pointed to Williamus Graylus….”You know what must be done? Set yourself to the task and don’t disappoint me. Care for Rome, I chase after Pompeii.”\n\n[b]Next: The death of Pompeii and the White Siren seduces a Roman gawd.[/b]","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'><strong><div class='align_center'>A simplistic review of Zootopian History with Focus on the Lupinian Roman Empire as written by Doctor Emeritus Lulow Mandemus.
