After impaling the Cantabrians, Flavio ordered that the bodies of the enemies be cremated to avoid an outbreak of diseases, the holes of the traps were occupied and others were created to fill them with corpses and then alcohol was placed for these to begin to burn

Flavio wanted to decapitate the bodies so that their heads were in pikes and accompany the impaled but was stopped by his mother and subordinates, the dead have died therefore there is no glory in decapitating their bodies Flavio could only desist

As for the dead of Emerita Augusta Flavio created the monument to the fallen, a large grave that was covered with a cement slab, Flavio ordered that in front of the square (The place where the dead were buried) was built a monolith where the names of all the dead and an epitaph were noted:

"Here rest the brave who fought and died for the defense of Emerita Augusta fighting against the army of Cantabrians who tried to supplant their soil

The number of enemies they killed was more than 150k whose bodies were burned and more than 50k captives rot in the stakes 1 km from the city, the deaths of the defenders were not in vain because they saved the lives of their loved ones and the glory of the Roman Empire, Roma Invicta! "

This monument (common grave) was considered the first one that was made to the fallen in a war in Europe and it would mark the precedent for the later monuments (pits) created during the history.

The days passed and the normal life recovered in emerita Augusta, Flavio freed the mind control of the city so that this one recovered the freedom, with this the pressure that it had in the head disappeared and it realized that its capacity of processing was much greater than as it was before

For the citizens who were in control they simply assumed that due to stress and survival they had to accept working in shifts and doing things that they would never have done otherwise, Flavio to create the triumph over the Cantabrians created the song "Sacred war" to celebrate the fallen:

"Stand up, enormous city,

Stand up for a deadly fight

Against the dark barbarian force,

Against the damned ord!

May the noble fury

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Boil like a wave, -

The emerita Augusta people's war is on

The Sacred War! "

While the ominous song sounded, the defense forces marched at a steady pace from the street Cardus to the Decamanus, leaving the city from the north to reach the monument of the fallen and throw the enemy banners on their soil, and shout in unison. "Roma Invicta "

The 1 of Quintilis august forces was approaching emerita Augusta august emerita where on the road could see a large number of corpses impaled hundreds of them in the distance, Tito Livio the Roman historian who accompanied august described in his book "De Bello Hispaniensi "(The wars of Hispania), the scene:

" No matter which place you look at, you will only see skeletons of impaled barbarians, the bodies have been cleaned by a horde of scavengers, we only know that they are barbarians because of the tribal clothes they wear, the august emperor only smiled at such a scene and ordered to go to emerita Augusta to know who was the architect of such a magnificent work ... "

In the walls of the city, the lookouts could see in the distance a great army approaching, when they looked through the telescope they could see the banners of different legions, they knew that the reinforcements of the august emperor had arrived.

A messenger of the emperor approached the gate of the walls and was greeted by a child dressed in a purple silk suit, the messenger realized that the recipient was the grandson of the august emperor Flavius

"I'm glad my grandfather could have come, better late than never, invite him to come there is much to talk about, the city can accommodate the commanders and the praetorian guard of my grandfather "

The messenger only nodded and left to go with the emperor and give the message of his grandchild.

Augusto looked doubtfully at the messenger because his grandson was only 5 years old, but he remembered the words of the man who saved his life

"Your grandson is destined to change the destiny of Rome"

he could only give a small smile and ordered that they prepare the camps outside the city will rest in emerita Augusta, had to know what had happened and why so many impaled tribes, he thought to scold his grandson because the Romans crucified in the trash did not impale her, but he had to admit that his grandson had style.

The gates of the city were opened and the emperor was received with a warm welcome from the citizens and soldiers of city, they trow to the army some kind of white papyrus and the children give to the pretorians some flowers, the military band played "Farewell of Slavianka"

The beautiful symphony sounded and the emperor was surprised by the sound he had never heard, the praetorians also they were surprised by the majestic sound

Tito Livio would describe it:

"The soldiers who played some strange instruments were led by a beautiful woman, who at the movement of their hands guided the musicians to create the majestic sound

When we arrived at the center of the city in the temple of Diana we received a 5-year-old boy and a beautiful young woman was the grandson of the emperor and his daughter

The emperor Augusto under his horse and climbed the steps of the temple to hug his daughter Julie after that he hugged his grandson, the grandson and the mother invited him to enter the temple ... "
