The Specially Chosen Father of the Roman Senate

It can also be called: 《In Rome, I Could Have Lived in Comfort but Chose Instead to Walk the Road of an Imperator’s Triumphs》

A completely hardline, carefully researched story; where necessary, some real historical material can be traced back to the original text. The rise of a top Roman noble family amid the conflict between two factions, with all real character relationships taken from historical records.

In the late Roman Republic, after the civil war between Marius and Sulla, heroes rose one after another.

The Senate betrayed and abandoned the Roman people, then cursed their leaders and tried to erase that memory.

The citizens cursed the Senate in return, and the struggle between the two sides grew ever fiercer.

After Sulla’s death, Crassus and Pompey seized power, and Caesar was about to step onto the stage of history.

Marcus Junius Silanus is born in this era into a prominent family of the Junii clan, yet his parents, older brother, younger sisters, his uncle, and even his mother’s old lover, Uncle Caesar, are all more famous than he is.

In this era, there is no path to easy success for a noble household; only by relying on one’s own sharpness and ability can one carve out a place in the world.

Should he join the faction of the Triumvirs, or follow in the footsteps of the republicans? What will the future hold? Among the Senate’s chosen fathers, he will surely claim a place through his intellect—but just how weighty will that position be?

By the gods of Rome, under the protection of Queen Juno, with father, grandfather, family clan, and heroic spirits all watching, this young man is certain to build a career of his own.
