Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 26: See and hear in the outer city of Turiyi

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

The Massimos family is walking on the way to Turei, except Massimos himself has been sent to private workshops in the city by slave camps several times to help, even if Fulvia and her two children I lived in a slave camp not far from the city of Turiyi for several years, and I have never visited the largest city in the Western Mediterranean.

The avenue that leads to the city at their feet makes them happy. It is flat and wide. There are deep drainage ditches on both sides of the road and neatly arranged street trees farther from the drainage ditches. A row of white stone steles under the street trees.

The two children who got out of the cage were surprised by all of this. They screamed and screamed, chasing each other on the sidewalk, and when they were tired, they sat on the wooden benches by the roadside and rested for a while, and then curiously fiddled with them. A white stone stele with a statue of a three-headed dog on the top.

At this time, Maximus hurried over and warned them to stay away from the stone monument, because it was the tombstone of the war dead of the Turíy citizen of Dionia, and no one should desecrate it. When Maximus entered the city for the first time, he heard people say: The names of Dionian soldiers who died in battle will be enshrined in the temple for worship, and their tombstones are standing on both sides of the avenue. Due to the wishes of their families and citizens, we hope that pedestrians who come and go can learn about their heroic deeds, perceive the hard-won life of today, and at the same time frighten those outsiders with unruly hearts...

It is said that this practice originated from Turei and has now been imitated by towns and cities in the kingdom. Massimus once had to sigh: Dionia gave such a lofty courtesy to the citizens who died in battle, how could he not let the living citizens continue to fight, so Dionia was able to destroy Rome, not From fluke!

When the children were excited to play, they were always easy to forget. Just after the two of them were tired of running and sitting on the stone tablet casually, they were caught by the inspectors. They not only reprimanded them, but also fined them 10 o'clock. Boll, and also to verify the identity of Maximus.

After learning that Maxim was an emancipated slave, the inspectors also specifically told him some laws and regulations that should be obeyed in Turiyi City and warned him not to violate them.

The two children were obviously frightened, and have followed their parents closely since then.

It is getting closer and closer to the city of Turiyi, and there are more and more pedestrians on the road. The fields on both sides of the road are gradually being replaced by more and more houses...

Standing in the bustling flow of people, not only the wives and children, but Maxim himself also became a little frightened, looking at the countless heads of people in front of him, and the overlapping houses, without even seeing the inner city. The shadow of the city wall can't help but create doubts: What a huge city this is, can you really get a foothold here?

When Maximus, who had imagined how he would live in the city of Turiyi countless times, really stood in front of this giant city, he deeply felt his own insignificance, but he was close to his wife and children. Let him become strong again, and move forward with the flow of people with the expectation of a better life like other people entering the city.

Half an hour later, they stood in front of the statue of Hermes, and Massims wiped off his sweat and said: "The outer city of Turri is ahead."

Fulvia's eyes widened: "After walking for so long, I haven't entered the city of Turri?!"

Fulvia grew up in the city of Rome. Rome, which consciously has a population of more than 100,000, is already a huge city, but compared to the city in front of her, it is nothing short of the eye. Although she was also a Roman nobleman, she is also a traditional Roman woman. She usually raises children, takes care of housework, and her husband takes care of other things. At this time, she had no idea, and asked in a flustered manner: "Maximus... …Where are we going?"

Mathims asked freedmen and prospective citizens about this issue many times when he was in the slave camp. He had already had a set of plans after he was freed. Compared with some compatriots who are still unwilling to admit the reality, he I have gained a clear understanding through various channels: Dionia has ruled over half of the Italian peninsula. If my family still wants to survive on this familiar land, they can only live in the kingdom of Dionia. If you want to have a better life, of course you must become a Dionian citizen as soon as possible.

So for him, the first thing he needs to do after becoming a slave is to apply and register at the household registration office, and he is willing to become a Dionian citizen.

So, Maximus boldly asked a patrol team.

The inspection team enthusiastically told him the location of the nearest inspection station.

After entering the outer city, the first feeling for the Massims family is that they have more freedom to walk, and pedestrians can walk on the main road in the middle. As long as the traffic is not deliberately blocked, the inspection team will not make trouble.

This is because there are many shops on both sides of the road: furniture shops, iron shops, cloth shops, pottery shops, cookware shops, medicine shops, butcher shops, fruit shops, vegetable shops, bakeries... and some Rome and even other cities There are no shops at all.

For example, the underwear shop (belonging to the Kristonia Chamber of Commerce) has special guards at the door, and only women are allowed to enter, and most of the people who enter and exit are gorgeously dressed women.

Study Tool Shop-a shop that specializes in selling student utensils. Massims also took a closer look. The dazzling array of learning utensils is not only made in fine detail, but the price is also quite cheap, if you don’t consider housing The venue hasn't been decided yet, and he also wants to buy some for the children.

Athletics equipment store, most of the goods in it are rugby football supplies.

The two children looked curiously at the star statues made of various materials on the shelves.

The guy in the shop took the opportunity to sell to Maximus: "If you want to buy, I recommend you to buy this. This is the statue of Prince Briantes, the third son of our great king. Don’t look at it. He is only 16 years old. He has played three times in our rugby match in Turei and has won a touchdown, but he is very popular with children!"

The king's son also participates in a rugby game! ......Despite his curiosity, Maximus has no urge to buy.

Medical tool shop, the things sold in it are more professional, doctors’ surgical instruments, fracture treatment instruments, trauma treatment instruments... etc. are very complete, so Massimus has to sigh: “No wonder the slaves The doctor in the camp clinic once proudly declared,'Dionia's medical skills are the best in the entire Mediterranean!'"

Bath shops, various styles of wooden bathtubs, stone bathtubs, bath herbs, spices, scrapers, razors, bath towels, lubricants, algae mud masks, etc... The love of Oonia for bathing.

There is actually a flower shop here. Some of the flowers and plants that can be seen everywhere like weeds in the mountains of Rome are also decorated in clay pots and placed on the shelves. Although the price is very cheap, people who come to buy Not uncommonly, this surprised Fulvia.

Turiyi people's habit of planting flowers and plants originated from the inner city. When Turiyi City was rebuilt, in order to make the entire city a beautiful and pleasing environment, Davers once suggested that every household plant flowers and plants in their own courtyards, and he also asked Helps to lead doctors to publicize, saying, "Planting flowers and plants can make The air is fresh and healthy."

When the city expands outward, the concept of planting flowers and plants has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, many people in the outer city do not have large houses like the people in the inner city, and some people even live in small houses, but they will Plant flowers and plants in special earthen jars, put them on the balcony or indoors, to please yourself and others. Later, many people were too busy to go to the wild to dig flowers and plants, and flower shops came into being.

Although Maximus has been to Turiyi City several times, he always hurried around under the custody of his employer. There is no time to wander around slowly. I just got free today, although I still have something to worry about. He was still attracted by the rows of shops on both sides of the street.

As a result, when he turned his head, he found that his wife and children were not around. He was shocked and hurriedly searched. He soon saw the two children jumping around on a row of small stone piers in the middle of the road ahead. His wife was thinking hard. Persuade them to come back.

Maximus rushed over and stopped the two naughty children from playing around.

"Dad, these little stone piers are fun!" The 5-year-old son was dragged by Massims, and excitedly wanted to jump up again.

"Dad, why do the Dionians place so many stone piers on the road? Isn't it easy to trip people?" the 7-year-old son asked curiously.

Maxims looked at the small square stone piers arranged from one side of the road to the other side. They were firmly welded to the road by cement, and the stone piers were half a meter apart. He couldn't help feeling a little bit in his heart. Explain to the children patiently: "This is called the speed limit stone. Look, because there are many shops on the roadside and many people are shopping, so some people have to walk on this avenue. But, look at this avenue. There are still a lot of carriages and pack animals on the road. If they run too fast, they will easily knock over people, right?"

The two children nodded.

"So how can we keep them from hitting people?" Maximus asked sensibly.

"Do not let the carriage into the city." The 5-year-old son replied.

"Those terrible uncles (referring to the patrol team) did not allow the carriage to speed up." This was the answer from the eldest son.

Masimus touched the heads of the two children and said seriously: "If the carriages are not allowed to enter the city, then there are so many things in these shops that people need to move in from the outside, will it be very tiring? Those terrible uncles can indeed slow down the carriage, but from morning to night there are so many carriages, they have to stare at it, will it be very tired? But this thing can make the coachman and the groom slow down consciously, because there is only When the wheels are exactly aligned between the stone piers, the carriage can pass smoothly, otherwise it may be crashed..."
