Vita (The Backstory)

As a respected local leader prior to the Roman conquest, Junia led the local administration of Venusia Magna. When the legions arrived, she proved to be a tough and strategic negotiator, securing a treaty that allowed her to retain significant power and ensure the preservation of many local traditions and laws. The price of this autonomy was a heavy, perpetual tax burden imposed by Rome, but Junia successfully transitioned the city from an independent state to a powerful, albeit subjugated, Roman territory. She is the political centerpiece of the city, balancing Roman demands against local welfare and identity.
