The Emperor's Hit List

Comitous sent Pertnax to Britain which had been a recent hotbed of insubordination with instructions to get the situation there back in hand. Comitous suspected that if given chance his friends and colleagues in the Senate would find other places to be on game day so he made attendance at his performances mandatory. The whole spectacle was an affront to the dignity of the Emperor, the Senators themselves and the Empire at large. Really the whole thing was just cruel, pathetic and sad. Meanwhile the Empire continued to plunge unchecked towards a system-wide failure.
