Governor of Achaea and Thessaly is the figure who opens “Mediterraneum partir de Grecia”: a provincial governor who puts down an attempted coup. He has sworn loyalty to Gallienus although he prefers the restoration of Valerian, and he orders the rebel general crucified as an example.
He recruits Team Alpha/Beta as independent mercenaries with a mission: to recruit the Hispanic Legion from Africa. He provides sealed mandates, safe passage, six weeks of rations and 5,000 gold coins.
