Rome Tonight!

     "Hello there, and welcome to Rome Tonight, with your host, Cassius.
     Today, there will be a special report on the arrests of the well known tribunes named Marullus and Flavius
who were apprehended in Rome a couple of days ago. I now send it over to Lyndon Rey, from the Northern Roman Courthouse."
     "Thank you Cassius. I have just heard that they have been arrested for tearing down banners of Julius Caesar, who is returning to Rome after defeating Pompey in a battle near here. I think it is despicable the way that Marullus and Flavius tore down those signs, and the way they treated the commoner.
     Ah, yes, the commoner. I haven't told you about him yet. he alledges Marullus and Flavius harassed him by threatening him all because they wanted to know were he worked. It's awful, isn't it. How can the public let those two crazy, power-obsessed, puffed up, and evil tribunes do that to the poor little commoner? The commoner, who is a cobbler, was interviewed by me yesterday and he seemed to be an extremely talkative, but nice person. The only thing is, he seemed to talk in riddles, which struck me as odd. Well, that is all for now, so, Lyndon Rey, signing off."
