Marcus proudly patrolled the census area, thinking it was a true legionary’s duty. He was glad Flavius trusted him to keep order and deter thieves.

Suddenly, something hit his shield. A child lay at his feet, crying. A bearded man rushed over, angry about Marcus’s clumsiness.  Flavius, an aide, reminded Marcus to maintain peace. Marcus apologized to the boy, admitting his mistake. The father was surprised by Marcus’s apology, softening his view of Romans.

Flavius praised Marcus for his humility and promised to inform Centurion Alexander. Marcus saluted and continued his patrol, his attitude changed.
