“As Calvus led his men out of Bad Tolz, Tribune Servilius stood by the gate. As Calvus rode by, he shouted out, “Good luck Legate; may the gods be with you.” Calvus stared at Servilius as he rode by; his face unchanged; his mouth moved to speak, but nothing came out. It would take him several hours to process what had just happened. Eventually, he figured out that Servilius, the man who transferred out of Legio XVII because he could not forgive him, had, in fact, just offered him an olive br...anch. Calvus felt forgiven and renewed. The mist and dense fog quickly swallowed up any trace of Calvus, Legiones XVII, V Etrusci, the two Suevi Legions, and hundreds of wagons that followed the marching troops. Bad Tolz had transformed from a bustling training camp into a ghost town. Only the Proconsul, Sergius, their respective staffs, the sick and injured, remained behind. Ansi and Atta were assigned to Servilius’ detachment and given administrative duties. They departed Bad Tolz when the Expedition Headquarters left.MoreLessRead More Read Less
