     Act III 

    
    ACT III: SCENE VII	Rome. A public place.

    
    	Enter two Senators and Tribunes
    
    First Senator	This is the tenor of the emperor's writ:
    	That since the common men are now in action
    	'Gainst the Pannonians and Dalmatians,
    	And that the legions now in Gallia are
    	Full weak to undertake our wars against
    	The fall'n-off Britons, that we do incite
    	The gentry to this business. He creates
    	Lucius preconsul: and to you the tribunes,
    	For this immediate levy, he commends
    	His absolute commission. Long live Caesar!
    
    First Tribune	Is Lucius general of the forces?
    
    Second Senator	Ay.
    
    First Tribune	Remaining now in Gallia?
    
    First Senator	With those legions
    	Which I have spoke of, whereunto your levy
    	Must be supplyant: the words of your commission
    	Will tie you to the numbers and the time
    	Of their dispatch.
    
    First Tribune	                  We will discharge our duty.
    
    	Exeunt
