Round 9 - Calbanus

The freshly started Calbanus family is off to their second round at the old Callandile farm.
Row 1: Fulvia Nixeira (slave, standing), holding; Hugues Calbanus (heir), Albanus Callani (Head of the family, sitting), Balbina Calbanus (wife, sitting), Mathis Nixianus (slave, standing)

Despite their age difference, they make a good husband and wife.

Fulvia's husband was the last one to die at the Colosseum, but she doesn't seem to be mourning. Just before he died, he found out about her affair with Januarius, which now continues...

Balbina is expecting hers and Albanus second child.

Little Hugues has a birthday.

Here he is now, copy of his mother...

Martialis, who's killed two people this round, is not popular among the Emperor's children. Agapetus and Aphrodisia were both provoking him all night.

As the only child, there's lots of time to teach Hugues everything.

The slave Mathis has his birthday too, a little less glamorous though.

Here he is. Mathis is a pleasure sim.

Bigger belly for Balbina!

Potty training.

And here I thought they were a happy couple... Apparently Balbina can't resist having an affair with their young slave.

Hugues is a lonely child despite having his parents all for himself.

But now those days are coming to an end.

Balbina has a second son, who they name Elye.

Hugues has another birthday!

This is how he turned out now. At least he has a pretty hair colour.

At this party, the provoking of Martialis reached its peak as he attacked the Emperor's daughter Aphrodisia in front of her worried father's eyes.

However, he doesn't succeed in kicking her ass, and ends up the one getting killed. The last Callius boy, sigh...

After the party, Balbina discovers she's pregnant again.

It's time to say goodbye to Fulvia, the first generation three to be born, and to die of old age. She's the one who got us into the Roman Era!

Bye Fulvia, I won't forget you!

Bathing House time was family time for these.

Elye has time for a birthday too.

Is everyone going to have that nose? Haha, well, here he is...

Round 8 - Calbanus

The first new household of this round is coming straight out of the Palace. Balbina is finally old enough for marriage, and she and Albanus are moving into the empty Callandile farm after everyone of that family died (except for the Empress, but she's busy elsewhere).
Row 1: Fulvia Nixeira (slave, standing), Albanus Callani (Head of the family, sitting), Balbina Calbanus (wife, sitting), Mathis Nixianus (slave, standing)
Little Mathis replaces Vibiana, who's not only getting married, she's pregnant with the former owner of the house too.

The parties of the patricians are getting more and more intense. Marcellina discovered that her husband Hortensius is having an affair with Herminia and a slapfest erupted.

Manlius and Severus are enemies, so of course they're slapping each other just because.

And for some reason, Herminia and Januarius were slapping each other too. Sigh...

Let's just go back to the bride and groom. Balbina Callarai becomes Balbina Calbanus.

They seem happy, although they have the biggest age difference in the game.

Fulvia and Januarius started a love story too. It's better than slaps, I guess.

The next day, the newlyweds fall in love.

Winter has come and Fulvia is struggling with her precious plants.

Believe it or not, it's time for Albanus to become an elder while his wife is still a teen.

This is the old man now. Still not a father, I almost said, then I remembered he has three bastard daughters.

And a trueborn on the way!

Fulvia and Quintus love is old but lasting, even though they've been separated for a long time now.

Bigger belly for young Balbina.

But before the baby arrives, she has to grow up into an adult.

Here she is!

Little Mathis is in safe hands with his fellow slave Fulvia.

Now it's time!

Balbina delivers a little red haired boy, named Hugues. Good idea to start with the son and heir when Albanus is so old.

Apparently (I don't even know why, everyone else does), he doesn't like Fulvia.

And that was it from that "old, lasting love". Quintus catches his wife with Januarius, which isn't popular. Never mind that he's WooHoo'd his master's teenage daughter earlier...
