	Livy's History of Rome
		While Gracchus was thus occupied messengers from Cumae informed him of the proposals made by the Campanians a few days previously and of their reply, and that the festival was to be held in three days' time, when not only the whole senate would be there but also the Campanian army in camp.
		Gracchus still remained in occupation of Cumae, more because he was ashamed to desert the allies who were imploring his protection and that of the Roman people than because he felt sufficiently assured as to his army.
		Gracchus, having marched his legions from Cumae to Luceria in Apulia, sent the praetor, M. Valerius, to Brundisium with the army he had had at Luceria, and gave him orders to protect the coast of the Sallentine territory and to make such provision as might be necessary with regard to Philip and the Macedonian war.

		Gengis is a metal warrior with good attack grids (I know he only has 2 grids, but +2 is pretty good and it's often enough +3)- since he needs to use them until the Sword of Mars comes out.
		Sword of Mars is a 0-init weapon, basically, and it means that I win the init.
		Blossius lets me tip the field in my favor which means I can use Disciplina on every attack from round 2 until the end.

	Sources on Tiberius Gracchus
		C. Blossius of Cumae, when he had come to entreat me, because I (Laelius) was acting in an advisory capacity towards the consuls Laenas and Rupilius, wanted me to forgive him because, he said, he thought so highly of Ti.
		So I said, "Even if he wanted you to set fire to the Capitol?" "He would never have wanted that" Blossius replied,"but if he had I would have obeyed." You can see what a wicked thing to say that was...
		and so Blossius, because of this madness, and since he was terrified of the new judicial commission, fled to Asia.

		A note I should make is that the general thinking towards blossius of cumae is that it lasts the whole game not just the turn, if thats wrong I'll be taking this apart and re building it later.
		Blossius lasts the whole game unless it gets discarded, so beware of the Yue.
		I don't have to change anything though, though it still most likely will be seeing some changes once I've collected all of the second set.

		When Tiberius Gracchus attempted his revolutionary measures he was deserted, as we saw, by Quintus Tubero and the friends of his own standing.

		But Caius Blossius, of Cumae, the guest,2 Scaevola, of your family, coming to me, when I was in conference with the Consuls Laenas and Rupilius, to implore pardon, urged the plea that he held Tiberius Gracchus in so dear esteem that he felt bound to do whatever he desired.
