Gaius Julius Decuminus

Gaius Julius Decuminus was a retired Roman soldier and inn keeper at Brocolitia on the Wall. His inn received barely welcome guests in the form of four merchants: Secundinius, Brocco, Tertullus, and Flavius Antigonus Papias. All four generally disliked each other, and so their brief stay was a stressful time for Decuminus. He received some direct support from the first decurion, Quintus Vestinus Corvus, especially after the squabbling among the merchants eurpted into a fist-fight.

Things came to a head when Tertullus murdered Secundinius after attempting to curse him. Tertullus initially framed Papias, but with some minor help from the observant Decuminus, among others, Corvus uncovered Tertullus' guilt.
