Valeria Domitia Aemiliana

Quaestura Aerarii (a.k.a. Wife of General Marcus Aemilius Severus)

---

Valeria Domitia Aemiliana is a woman of formidable intellect and unwavering ambition, born into one of the most influential patrician families of the Reman Republic. Her marriage to General Marcus Aemilius Severus, a decorated war hero, was a strategic alliance that solidified both their families' power and influence within the Republic. Valeria, however, was never content to simply be a wife and mother. She possessed a keen understanding of politics and economics, and her sharp mind and persuasive nature made her a respected advisor within her husband's inner circle.

When the opportunity arose to appoint a new Quaestor Aerarii for Aquitania, Valeria saw it as a chance to prove her capabilities. She leveraged her family's connections and her husband's prestige to secure the position, despite some whispers about a woman holding such a powerful post.

Valeria's appointment comes at a critical time. Aquitania, a vital trading hub, is under

siege by Viking and pirate raiders, and the Republic's coffers are strained. Her task is to ensure the efficient collection of taxes, manage the city's finances, and find ways to fund the war effort without alienating the populace. She is aware that there are rumors of corruption within the senate, and the growing influence of the Tiss and Asmodeus's followers. She is a loyal Reman, and wants to do what she can to protect the republic. She is also aware that her husbands legion will be arriving, and is looking forward to seeing him again.

Valeria is a shrewd negotiator and a skilled administrator. She is not afraid to make difficult decisions, and she possesses a keen eye for detail. She is also aware of the delicate balance between power and popularity, and she understands the importance of maintaining the support of the people. Valeria has a strong sense of duty to the Republic, and she is determined to succeed in her new role.
