DescriptionsEdit Descriptions
- Gaius Petreius Ruso is a somewhat retiring medicus, or doctor, with the Roman legions in Britain. He was divorced from his first wife because of his lack of ambiition. His father left the family estate, which is run by Ruso's prolific younger brother and his wife, heavily in debt. Also living on the estate is the Ruso brothers' stepmother and two half-sister. They need all the money that Ruso can spare them.Spotting Tilla, a British slave who is severely injured, Ruso buys her and gives her the medical treatment she needs. She gradually becomes more and more central to his life. (English, Unclassified)
