Assignment 6


Titus Marcus Cassius spends most of his time tending to the land that his father owns. He watches over the slaves and makes sure everything is going accordingly. During he free time Titus does enjoy reading at his home. He has gone to a tutor his most of his life so he is very educated and he enjoys keeping his intellect up. He also enjoys reading about the military. He likes to learn about military tactics and formations. After reading about these formations he likes to design his own military tactics. He also reads as much as he can about Caesar and his conquest out side of Rome. When he does get out of his home Titus does like to just walk from his home on the Palatine hill down to the forum. He likes to just walk around by the shops and markets watch all kinds of people. He doesn’t have many friends since he was always with a tutor through out most of his childhood so he is mostly spends time alone. This is one of the reasons that he has decided to go to the military for the bond that he will receive with the fellow soldiers. On this specific day there was a festival going on in the Roman forum. This festival was in dedication to Jupiter. Since it was customary for all Romans to attend Titus went to celebrate. Even though Titus did not have many friends he did know some people that were also attending the celebration so he joined them through out the entire event. This festival went on for most of the entire day and most of the Romans were there. Titus spent his entire day at the festival and really enjoyed himself. It wasn’t until long after the sun went down until Titus went home. Once he returned home he went to sleep exhausted from the events from the day.
