Gaul

Flavius Guiscard campaigns across Gaul's rugged frontiers, pulling him far from his villa and leaving it unprotected. Roman legions push through forests, ford rivers, and clash with tribal holdouts, their marches echoing imperial reach. The Seller reveals this absence to slave traders, noting how the companions sell villa garden produce to villagers just to survive. Distance breeds isolation, turning opportunity into predation amid the province's distant strife.
