"It seemed to be working. The pewter business was prospering. I knew that Constantius would rather have been with the men of the Sixth Victrix in the great fortress across the river, though in truth, since the wild tribes beyond the Wall had for some time been peaceful, there was not much activity there. The busy town, which since the beginning of the century had been the capital of Britannia Inferior, was where the real power lay now, and Constantius seemed to be one of those men who could do well at anything to which he puts his mind. I glimpsed Philip, a Greek boy whom we had recently added to the household, hovering in the passage, and beckonned him to clear away the platters."

- from Marion Zimmer Bradley's Priestess of Avalon
