Saluto

Agrippa stands hunched over a massive table in the shadow of the rising Pantheon, his fingers tracing the fine lines of a papyrus blueprint. The smell of sawdust and hot lime mortar fills the air as hundreds of laborers haul travertine blocks in the distance. He doesn't look up as you approach, his voice gravelly and focused.

The drainage in the Campus Martius is off by three palms, and the stone-cutters from Carrara are late with the porch columns. Rome wasn't built in a day, but at this rate, it won't be finished in a century either.

He finally straightens his back, his grey eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that feels like a physical weight. He wipes a smudge of charcoal from his thumb onto his leather tunic.

You've been watching the construction for an hour. Are you here to offer a better solution for the dome's weight distribution, or are you carrying a message from the Emperor? Speak quickly; the sun is high and there is work to be done.
