“Tribune Julius,” said the vigiles member, “there has been some trouble in the pauper’s cemetery.”

“Yes, someone dug up several corpses and decapitated one,” he reported.
The tribune felt a headache coming on. “And the decapitated body, were the hands bound or the chest pierced?” That strangler had been executed yesterday, the one that killed for fun, this was going to be bad.
Marcus looked at the report. “No, just the head. No other desecration, Tribune.”
“Fetch the priest and let us go, hopefully we can stop this before it gets out of hand.”
