By decree of Marcellus Augustus, Dominus Noster. To Manius Titinius Silvanus of Carbula, Patrician of Rome.
You are being recalled to service at the request of the Vicar of the Orient, the noble Flavius Crispinus, to aid in extinguishing the invading Saracen horde that threatens the holy places so dear to our Christian faith. The funds necessary to transport your personal guard across the sea will be allotted to you when you reach Malaca. When you arrive in the Orient, the title 'Duke of Phoenicia' will be conferred upon you and the command of the Phoenician legions will fall upon your shoulders. Additional duties will in the Orient will be decided by the noble Crispinus. A period of two weeks will be given for you to prepare your affairs.
Go with God.
