A simplistic review of Zootopian History with Focus on the Lupinian Roman Empire as written by Doctor Emeritus Lulow Mandemus. Dean of the University of Zootopia.

Part 7: The White Siren
We’ve come to this point now in Lupinian Rome where Cesar has taken power, left Rome to be “reformed” (air quotes) according to his dictates by his most trusted subordinate Williamus Graylus while Cesar and a legion chase Pompeii across the seas because...Pompeii is a threat. He’s a threat to Cesar more than Rome. So Cesar’s not going to let Pompeii skulk away with his tail between his legs because….like Cesar….Pompeii is a very ambitious bastard.
Much we know about how Cesar wanted to “shape” or “re-shape” or “Restore” Lupinian Rome’s governmental situation comes not from him but from third sources and they are not very reliable. Sadly with the great Roman fire that happened 200 years after Julius Cesar died, so went the great library and all that collected personal data Cesar wrote? Poof….gone.
So we have some thought writings from Cesar before this period when he was a mid-ling wolf, some of his campaign writings when he was trotting around with the Legions and even with this we don’t have a clear idea of Cesar’s vision.
We do know that he wanted to get rid of the counsel system. His proposal to the Senate was that he would serve four years to get things hammered out like corruption, favoritism, vote buying, influence peddling and then at the end of those four years there would be an election and from that point on a single counsel would serve a two year term and would have to be elected again to serve for two more years and so forth.
Another idea was taxes upon the wealthy patrician classes which would be deposited into a sort of populace welfare fund which Mammals could petition to if they were in dire straits, predators of course.
Another thing Cesar suggested “be done” which probably made him a lot of enemies? Place the prey mammals under a government controlled ration system, stop the reckless free for all smorgasbord buffet slaughtering that the predators in Rome had been doing since the founding. For prey mammals it didn’t mean you weren’t going to die...just that you were going to die….a little slower than before. And if you worked in the mines or pulled a cart? Your status wasn’t going to change at all. Cesar saw the writing on the wall...at some point? The supply of pray was going to get pretty skimpy and that was a vulnerability Cesar wanted to manage.
But the biggest change in the government? The one which probably contributed to Cesar ending up dead? He wanted elections in the Senate to be an annual affair. Not only that? He wanted to allow the plebes to be able to form petition groups to challenge Senators if corruption was suspected. A lot of things were coming together to fashion a wick for a powder keg. The only reason Cesar’s enemies didn’t consider lighting the wick while Cesar was gone? They knew Williamus Graylus would not play nice with his toys. Remember that individual behind the curtain idea? The senior Graylus was that individual.
But...onto Pompeii’s dilemma. Pompeii fled to the closest mammal enclave that might offer him salvation. This was the island / continent of Anakato. Now there is no “Anakato” today, this is where the Outback Islands are. The reason Anakato doesn’t exist any more is that at one time it was a huge volcanic caldera and 219 years after Cesar was assassinated in the Roman forum...Anakato blew itself, an the civilization that sat on it...to oblivion.
And what was interestingly special about Anakato? It was populated by foxes called the Minotians. Now why didn’t Rome invade and slaughter the whole culture? Because the Minotians were skilled in politics, persuasion and hospitality. Basically...they had a lot of things the Lupinian Romans needed, they had the slaves to deliver it and bribery was a cultural specialty.
Yet as Pompeii approached, the society at that moment was plunged into civil war, actually the result of a violent divorce. The Minotian royal blood line was perpetuated through incest and the latest married pair of foxes had a falling out.
There was the brother named Palomi who held the throne and had only recently, by the time Pompeii set foot in the harbor of the capital city, booted his sister / wife into the wilderness. Her name was Cassiopeia and if you think generations of incest might end up affecting the gene pool when it came to looks and brains? Well….the affliction missed Cassiopeia. With white fur as white as a cloud or a blanket of snow and an exceptional genius to accompany it? Cassiopeia was both Beautiful and extremely cunning. Her spies reported to her the arrival of this influential Wolf named Pompeii and the situation he had found himself trapped in.
Cassiopeia set herself to using the unfortunate Pompeii to her advantage knowing that Cesar was hot on his tail and foolishly Palomi had chosen to offer Pompeii protection and deal with the incoming angry war wolf. Palomi installed Pompeii in a guarded family villa north of the capital city. Perhaps someone should have informed the young fox king that the family villa had tunnels running all under it.

Cesar warned Palomi that he had two days to produce Pompeii alive and bring his sister to him or all bets of the Minotian society continuing into the future were off. Cesar retired to his encampment to await the result.

“Mighty and glorious Wolf.” Cassiopeia said as she bowed herself low before Cesar. I Cassiopeia offer myself to be despoiled at your willing. Do with me as you desire.” She then turned her tail to him and spread herself willingly before him.
