EM-PE-ROR!"
"Ja?"
"Ja-haha."

[@eduardogutierrez4698]

Kaiser ?? Ja?? Did these German words were used by the ancient Germanic tribes at that time?

[@geoart6336]

​@@eduardogutierrez4698 Kaiser is the pronunciation of Caesar, with the hard K sound as the ancient romans would have spoke it. So the german mercenaries could have understood that.

[@TheNomadicview]

The scene is a recreation of a famous painting by Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema.
