Nova Roma

In the morning in the city of Magna Caribe, Tacio got up from his bed with the sound of a horn that sounded through all the houses, this was used by knocker-up figures responsible for lifting people early to help their day a day.

The knocker-up was sponsored by the temples for what was a free service, Tacio got up from his bed and kissed his beautiful wife Xochiel, his wife was one of the many women who came to the province in search of Husbands from the mainland.

This is because the empire supports mothers with food and support, not to mention that the more children a woman has, the more respect they have in society, political and religious propaganda encourages women to marry and have children.

They have been married for a year and currently have a son and are waiting to have another, Tacio who remembered how beautiful the night went to the kitchen where he moved a lever so that the water came out of the tap.

This ingenious system was invented by the emperor a long time ago and has begun to expand in the houses, the water reaches them through internal pipes in the houses Tacio does not understand the process with which it works but knows that it has to do with the water tower

That water reaches your home where it goes up to a cement tank that has pieces of marble inside to keep the water in place without leaking, you just need to move the lever so that the waterfalls through the tap.

After filling a steel bucket of water and the clay pot also to prepare coffee, he placed the pots on the stove, then placed coal briquettes inside the stove and using a flint and a sheet of paper he managed to create a spark to ignite the fire.

After this his wife Xochiel left the room to go to his little son's room, in the middle of the room there was a large crib where little Atletl slept, he smiled for a moment and charged him to take him to the kitchen.

Flavio promoted the dining room as a substitute for triclinium, this why eating on the side is bad for the body, Xochiel placed his little son in a chair that had a small table and went to his cupboard to take out a meal of powdered food to the baby.

"Heart you can check if the milkman has already passed with the milk for little Xochiel."

Tacio nodded and before leaving he kissed his son on the forehead "Good morning champion, how my little Atletl dawned"

The little boy just shook his head without sleep and gave a smile to his father, Tacio was glad for the tender reactions of his son and just fluttering his hair and then go out and see if the milkman passed.

On the street he could see his neighbors and other people ready to receive their milk, the milkman always passed by two policemen wearing blue uniforms made with cotton.

Because the mornings were cold they had wool woolen uniforms and scarves on their uniforms so they wouldn't get sick, the people waited for the milkman to go to their homes while waiting for his neighbor to talk to him.

"It's a very cold morning, Tacio and you are not coming out every spring," said his neighbor who was wrapped in a cotton blanket.

Tacio who was only covered by his pajamas could only laugh "I grew up in beautiful Gaul, this cold is very comfortable reminds me of autumn."

The neighbor laughed "How lucky is yours, I grew up in Lusitania where very rarely there is cold but they say in the newspaper that the cold will continue for a long time and that we have to be prepared"

Tacio was surprised "You are subscribed to the Imperial Newspaper"

The neighbor smiled "My brother works at Origin Civitatem as a bureaucrat and sent me some newspapers from the capital to read and that my little children will release the reading."

"How lucky is that of your brother, whom the governor has mentioned that the province will take to have its printing press until the next year due to the construction of the building.

It is quite complicated to work when labor is scarce, our boys are taking care of our borders on the continent, my sister has been writing to me and says that it is normal to see women, children, and Anahuacs men arrive seeking refuge in the empire.

It is a pity that they have to be distributed throughout the provinces of the empire, we will only need a few thousand of them to increase our standard of living. "

At that moment the police approached Tacio carrying a bucket of milk "Wake up Tacio, here is your milk and remember that the architect Marco expects you to arrive early you have to check the construction of the hospital."

Tacio let out a laugh "Of course, Dymas and thanks for notifying, I know that architect Marco can be a bit heavy sometimes but he's a good person."

Dymas smiled "It's no problem Tacio, your work, and his architect's job are very important.

Anyway, I do not take away more time that many houses are missing than delivering milk and remember that in 15 days it is the feast of the god Apollo and Huehuecoyotl, I hope you can go with your family the command and schools prepare some events. "

Tacio "I will ask Xochiel if he has time, otherwise I will take little Atletl and take a walk around."

After this they said goodbye and Tacio returned home, handed the milk to his wife and prepared to bathe with a jícara, so he heated his water in the metal bucket, usually it would not be necessary to heat it and it would only be enough to open the tap of showering and bathing but the water in the early morning is too cold.

After bathing using a mint-scented soap, he left the shower to change, before leaving for work his wife handed him a cup of coffee and a bread stuffed with beans and cheese.

The breakfast was quite calm and after this Toci brushed his teeth with coal and mint said goodbye to his family and took his work tools which were in his yard, with a whip he began to wake up the slaves "Advance Caribal shits today is a great day for work ... "
