The Tammys were going to be presented in Rome? Of all the places they could've picked! Province? Beautiful. Venice? She'd been there before, for Arthur's sake. But Rome? The very heart of the Empire she hated? Six months ago, she would've said "no way in hell!" But now... She'd already bought the dress, and had made plans to go with Adam. She had to admit, albeit very grudgingly, that the few conversations she'd had with Marius, Mark & Lance had her reforming her opinions of Romans in general. She still wasn't much for the chickenshit Cæsars, like Nero, who never took to the front lines with the troops they condemned to die.
Pride stiffened her spine. Oh, she'd go to Rome alright, and dance on Nero's grave while she was there.
