You and I both are aware that one never comes to Rome empty handed. We have survived many years in our palaces on either side of The Adriatic Sea. Princes who are naive do not survive as long as we. Through my Roman agents, I have purchased a small, but elegant little villa just outside of Rome on the opposite bank of The Tiber as is most appropriate for one in my position. It is just next to where the great Julius Caesar installed that foolish Egyptian Queen. I shall use it for my stay here in Rome and have left a deed to the place which turns it over to you as soon as I set foot in Macedon. I thought the empress might find it amusing to get out of the glare of palace life from time to time and hold parties and family weddings and such away from public view. At my age, I am a bit concerned about my health here in the hot summer of Rome and what with the miasmas and all so close to the river, I have taken the precaution of asking for the prayers of The Vestal Virgins. I have deposited with them a will which leaves the villa to the Temple Of Vesta should I not survive my stay here. It is a small thing and I now feel certain that my visit shall end well and there is nothing to worry about. You and I and the empress shall all benefit and all win.
