The Trial of a Traitor and Roman Spy

'My black hair and dusky face was far more roman than native. So they found me guilty and sentenced me to be offered up to baal next morning before the army as a detected spy' 'The laws of the druids, which enjoined slow and deliberate judgments, forbade the altering of a sentence once pronounced,' he says. He adds: 'When i declared i was no roman, but a briton, an aged fool,. His long white locks, lited with oak leaves, rose silently and held a polished brass mirror before me.' And by midday, i was bound once more, and before the priests and chiefs as a traitor and roman spy'.
