My First Senate Meeting
Sonntag, Mai 27th, 2007I finally managed to attend a senate meeting at Roma. The first since I rented a plot in Subura and started to build my own villa. I have no time to participate in any role play, to begin with. I even missed the Lupercalia, but then I had an excuse, as it was at 2 [...]
