Conflict on the Streets of York






[Amazonian fighting in the streets: All over some bloke called Morris ...?!?]


Violent scenes of conflict on the streets of York left the Emperor reminiscing about troubled histories from his own ancient past:


''And now civil discord broke out again worse than ever and increased enormously. Massacres, banishments, and proscriptions of both senators and knights took place straightway, including great numbers of both classes, the chiefs of factions surrendering their enemies to each other, and for this purpose not sparing even their friends and brothers; so much did animosity toward rivals overpower the love of kindred.''

[Appian, Civil Wars, I.5]
