The Tower

Pymithius was under pressure. The roman garrison he led had to finish building the watch tower in order to successfully secure the fort. He had been commander in chief was to protect his troops from harm. Whilst at the same time advancing Roman territorial gains to the advantage of the Roman Empire. The plan was to advance to the west where barbarians ruled large swathes of no man’s land to the east of Gaul.

Legions were set up to protect their men and this meant the key aim of the expedition was to protect the tower and make it a clear place to protect the legions from attack. Pymethius was a strong leader who was looking to advance the empire to the east below Gaul to Southern Spain. Believing as he did in the glory of Rome, years to build seconds to destroy was Pymithius’s calling he knew he had a destiny as a fighter but also knew Christians were the enemy of Rome and to fight for the glory of the empire would be a tough ask. Indeed Pymithius legion led at least ten thousand troops into battle believing as he did in the glory of the Roman Empire.

Interestingly Pymethius set about building his imperial fort using wattle and Daub and brick allowing for a glorious battle to advance the Roman Empire. To the east lay Maserpatania a part of the world where tribes were vicious but fair. This empire was on the floor slowly closing down. Under threat from the Barbarians in the west. A well defended fort tower protected the Roman Empire as a final protection from attack to the east.

Eventually the bombardment came from the west and the legion fell as the empire started to crumble. The tower was deep and had large foundations, they were solid and well-constructed and the legion of 10,000 men were defeated with honour bravery and sacrifice the motto of IXV legion was never truer then when the attack struck. The attack came at dawn from the west and was extremely quick the barbarians had flame throwers and Romans threw stones.

Much fighting took place and the barbarians pushed the romans to the brink. Pymithius fought bravely but was killed defending his men. He was brave and he lay down his life in defence of his legion. Indeed the Gauls were a brutish creed who revelled in war but knew that defeating the Romans was a priority for their brutality often decimated and destroyed enemies. When the legion was defeated the Gauls took the fort and the tower was destroyed.
