Consul Sextus Antonius Syricus has emerged in the city of Iunonia, along with a legion's worth of young men he recruited along his march in Gaul. The legion has been dubbed "Legio I" after the old Legio I was dissolved, its numbers brought to less than 300 men. His arrival in Iunonia was met with great acclaim, with reports that the cities of Trinatana and Allaricum are raising forces to send to the consul's aid. Right now there are few Septims in the capital who could form a legion, but more and more are arriving from the countryside and the previously mentioned cities will soon send their own contributions. The Septimi Verturii matriarch Gnaea Septimia Verturia is using her influence and prestige to call in all manner of resources for the consul. Vaeya Septimia Sullina, matriarch of the Septimi Sullae has sent word to the consul telling him, "If you supply the men, I shall supply the arms." and has promised vast quantities of Noric Steel for the legions as well as Gallic auxilia. When Consul Syricus pressed Gnaea Septimia Verturia to how many men she could muster given the lack of manpower in Iunonia, she is said to have arrogantly replied, "I will not raise you a legion...I will raise you an army!"
