Round 4 - Zimius

This is the little Zimius family. The father, Septimius, is a gladiator and doesn't live in the household, but with the other gladiators.
Row 1: Valeriana Zimius (Head of the family, standing); holding: Aquila Zimius (daughter)

Valeriana didn't have a bump as I started playing, but not long after the start, it grew.

For some reason (a flu I think) she was throwing up all the time, poor girl...

But the second bump of her belly still put a great smile on her face. Valeriana and Septimius had a difficult time conceiving Aquila, but this time it went faster.

Aquila soon grows up into a child.

Here she is! I'm still amazed at how she looks, definitely unique in this neighborhood.

Mother and daughter time, where Valeriana teaches Aquila a thing or two about fashion.

During a date with her husband, it's time for their second child to be born.

It's a second baby girl! She has brown hair and green eyes like her father and they name her Aemilia.

Septimius is glad to see that his daughter has grown into a happy child without his help.

Valeriana has the great luck to encounter a genie. She wishes for peace of mind, which seems to be the most popular wish among the slaves. Completely understandable, their lives are rough.

Little Aemilia has her first birthday.

She looks exactly like her father, down to every color, haha. First generation four with those eyes (originally from one of the Seoli founders), so I'm pleased to see they survived another generation.

The infertility problem this couple had with their first child seems to have made it's return, as they try for a baby every day seemlingly without success.

At the Baths, Aquila meets her aunt on her father's side, Martina, who is a favourite among a lot of her nieces and nephews. She's adored by Aquila as well.

Aquila is a very social little girl, and she's not scared to talk to the members of the upper class either.

She even convinces Gordianus Callarai to hang out with her for hours, and they become friends, haha.

Just to show exactly how much these two look alike.
