Roma astra

Pilot: "Hey. You mind giving me a real quick run down again of our cargo?"

Co-pilot: "Sure. Checking the cargo manifest, we have a single 258.967 kg crate of wall fragments."

Pilot: "258.967? You sure?"

Co-pilot: "That's...what it says on the manifest. Weird. The other 5 crates on the list only weigh 200 kg."

Pilot: "Hey, don't the wall fragments only weigh 10 kilograms each?"

Co-pilot: "That's right, so why does this crate weigh 58.9 kilograms extra? If there's just more fragments in it, it should weigh 60 kilograms extra."

Pilot: "The excess weight is too exact to be a miscalculation. It's gotta be something else... Well whatever. We'll figure it out later."

OOC-
I just now realized just how much of a logistical burden it is for Roma Astra to continue holding onto Turgalium. Not only is it landlocked, the Tagus (Tajo) River that runs through it and feeds into the Atlantic is dominated by the Portuguese. This means that to defend it, Roma Astra would have to march soldiers from the nearest defendable point in Hispania Tarraconensis.
