‘This is a Roman blade.’

‘Quite.’

‘Were they in the pay of Romans?’

Narcissus shrugged. ‘This could just have been loot, taken from the dead some time in the past. Or, yes, they could have been paid by Romans, but what would be the purpose? The mine owners would lose out, for they cannot ship their gold. The miners themselves are little more than slaves, and often precisely slaves, and cannot afford to hire men. Why a soldier or officer would want to employ mercenaries to disrupt mining I cannot understand, and if the governor is, as you say, taking an unhealthy cut from the top, to do this would ruin him as much as anyone else.’

Rufinus nodded. ‘Yet these men remain in the area and Albinus does nothing about them, sitting in his fortress at Apulum while gold supplies fail to flow. And the Dacian rebels turn out to be Roxolani mercenaries. I don’t understand why, but I feel that Albinus is behind this somehow.’

‘Perhaps you will gain your answers today, then. We ride for Alburnus and shall be there before nightfall.’
