So, say there's a murderer on the loose. It's up to the civilians, lictors or praetorians to try and catch him? Is there no secure guard force?

How was Law enforced in the city of Rome? I remember reading that legionaries couldn't come into the city armed and had to camp outside. How were crimes reported? Who captured the criminals, if legionaries couldn't come into the city? Who decided the punishments? Where? 2MH

There will be healing; one of my friends is playing a Medicus in the army. Just not the cleric class. I probably should've put magical healing, I'll change that. Thanks

Hi all A game called Neverwinter Nights 2 (http://www.atari.com/nwn2/) is coming out in September. When it's out I'll be making a historical roleplaying world - ie, people actually act like the characters they play. If you're going to be getting NWN2 I suggest you give the website a look and see if you're interested. www.nwn2rome.co.uk

There are a lot of knowledgeable people here who are deeply interested in Roman history. My question is: What got you interested in Roman history? Why do you like it? What fascinates you?

Late republic, easily the most interesting part of Roman history.

Over the course of Roman history, the Senate changed enormously. Do you want to know about the Senate when Rome was ruled (1) by kings (i.e., the regal period), (2) by the senate and people of Rome (i.e., the republic), or (3) by the emperors (i.e., the principate and dominate)? The period I'm interested in is the time of the Roman republic, when Marius/Sulla/Caeser/Pompey etc were around.

I've always been curious about how senate sessions were run and wonder if there's anyone here who could offer some insight. How long did sessions in the senate last? Who attended, and how did you you become a member? What power did each senator have? What did they discuss? How often was the senate called? Were you required to attend? Are there "ranks?" etc Thanks
