Hanc fābulam, quae de Rōmānīs antīquīs nārrātur, saepe Mārcus in scholā audīvit. In pictūrā est vir quī mīles Rōmānus est. Ad bellum properat. Est mīles validus et magnus quī arma Rōmāna portat. Sōlus est. Multī aliī mīlitēs quī in pictūrā nōn videntur ad bellum ambulant quod bellum est magnum. Ibi sunt castra Rōmāna ubi noctū mīlitēs manent. Hīc quoque manent ubi in bellō nōn pugnant. Mīlitēs interdum ā castrīs properant et ad bellum eunt.
