《Nova Roma》In the farm
Advertisement
In front of a beautiful Roman farm, it is possible to see a group of guards descending from their horses, while a group of slaves helps a young woman and a small child to descend from his.
"As if this is the father's country house, I have to admit that it has the perfect climate if only I had a cold beer and roasted beef (Carnita Asada) with banda music to accompany the moment"
Flavio could only duck his shoulders in a sign of disappointment
Julia saw her son with a condescending look "Although I do not understand what you said and why you suddenly got depressed son, Sadiki approached the manager of the farm",
A dark-skinned man with a bag at his side approached Julia and Flavio "Masters Welcome we were waiting for you"
Flavio pointed to Sadiki "So you are the one in charge of the farm, first of all, look at my eyes ..."
"Now you can tell me Sadiki what we cultivate now"
Sadiki nodded to the words of Flavio and invited him to accompany him as they walked into the farm
"Currently young master, we produce rye and wheat, because there is no winter we can rotate the two crops throughout the year, we also produce a small number of vegetables for family consumption and we have a large cultivation area only for grapes, olives, and apples"
Flavio stopped and asked "How many animals we currently have? "
Sadiki took a papyrus from his bag "We currently have 46 cows, 122 goats, 59 sheep, 75 pigs, 33 horses, 45 donkeys, 20 mules, 158 chickens, and 56 ducks"
Flavio thought for a moment "Very good, take me to the blacksmith of the farm "
Flavio turn around and said to his mother "Mother the situation is something special, I think we will stay for a week, I need you to bring the craftsmen that I ordered and the materials to make paper, there are many things to do and little time, Sadiki please continue to show me the place "

In the courtyard of the farm, you can see a somewhat old blacksmith his name is Benicio is an auxiliary veteran of the war against Marco Antonio, after years of traveling through Africa decided to accompany his general Vitellius to Lusitania to work as his blacksmith personal
The payment is good can not complain, the most important thing is that finally he could settle down and a year ago he married a beautiful lady who a few days ago gave him the surprise that she is pregnant life can not be better for Benicio while thinking about his beloved wife
He continues hammering on an anvil what appears to be a horseshoe, occasionally cleaning the sweat caused by the heat of the forge, in one of the cleanings he was able to observe Sadiki the trustworthy Egyptian slave of Vitelio and In charge of the farm, talking comfortably with a small child
For Benicio this is not unusual he immediately knew that this little boy was the son of his great general but what surprised him was seeing Juli the emperor's daughter had only twice come to the farm
Benicio was lost in the beauty of Julia who did not even notice the little boy approached, he said "Could you see my eyes please"
After that Benicio felt that he had to take care of that child above all things, he can not allow something to happen to him, and most importantly, the fidelity and trust in his little master should never be violated.
Flavius asked Sadiki to give him a papyrus and ink, as they approached a forging table "Very well Benicio you are going to see something that can change the future of the Roman Empire"
Sadiki delivered the papyrus and the ink Flavio received the materials and saw sadiki with an angry look "Very intelligent sadiki but how I am going to draw on the papyrus, perhaps maybe with my FINGER!"
Sadiki realized his mistake and took out a calamus (pen for write Roman) of their bag

"Thank you"
Flavio accepted the calamus and began to draw on the papyrus they made 3 drawings quite detailed on the papyrus
"Now Benicio, I will explain how you should do it"
Flavio pointed to his first drawing, which is a ring whit out part in the middle, everyone present saw this draw and see Flavio with doubt and disappointment at the same time, they wondered if that would change the empire, Flavio realized that he could only drop his shoulders
"I know it does not seem like the great thing but you must remember that sometimes the smallest can make big changes, just wait and see "
Flavio I look at Benicio " this hoop I need to be bronze should have a size bigger than a horseshoe, prepare about 5, please "
Flavio pointed to his second drawing this looked like a horseshoe but with a wide joint at the bottom
"This is a stirrup, I need you to make 2 of them in the bottom place a piece of wood, by the way, I need you to make 6 rings, both the stirrups and the rings must be of iron or bronze, never iron that material lose a lot of durabilities when rust and can damage in the case of ring the animal"
Finally, Flavio pointed to his third drawing "This is the most complicated of all, are 2 pieces the first is an airlock, this small piece is fundamental try to mold as it is drawn, the second are metal tubes in Thread shape, you can occupy any material that can be molded in this way "
when he saw the draws Remember
Flavio looked at Benicio "I let you work, the hoops I hope you have it ready today"
After saying those words he looked at Sadiki "I need you to get me the most powerful relaxant there is and some bulls that have between 6 months and one year, I will also need the strongest slaves and some red hot nails all this I need today, remember when Benicio finish the job immediately come to tell me, I will be with my mother enjoying the farm "
Flavio turned around and took his mother's hand to retire to inside the farm.
In the afternoon Flavio was in the kitchen teaching the maids how to make sweet bread "That's right now put the cow's milk in the mixture and add the eggs"
At that time Sadiki entered the kitchen "Young Master what I ask in the morning is ready "
"Well" Flavio proceeded to get off the chair that occupied and clean her hands
"Sadiki please tell my mother please continue teaching the maids, she will no refuse because she loves sweet bread"
In the courtyard of the forge it was possible to see 4 young bulls lying down and a group of very strong slaves also Benicio with the nose rings and a red-hot nail
Flavio looked at the scene and said "Very well let's start, I need you to hold the bull as strong as possible even though it is sedated it will hurt horrors to be penetrated in the nose, with a red-hot nail "
Flavio began to give indications to Benicio who took the red-hot nail with a pair of pliers, approached the bull, and without hesitation pierced in the nose the bull, who despite being sedated gave a terrifying cry of pain
The slaves exerted strength over it to prevent it from moving, after piercing the bone of the nose placed the ring in it, the same process was done with the other 3 animals
Flavio looked at the bulls and said "It was necessary, sorry little guys are just a moment of pain for the sake of humanity "
After that, he talks to sadiki and said "Let them rest for 2 days, after that I'll show you why the hoops in the nose"
Flavio said goodbye and returned to the farm he has to dinner and goes to sleep tomorrow will be a heavy day what can you feel ...
