Councilor Tutio Ovidius

Tutio is a member of the Plebeian Council with plebeian blood and holds a single minor estate. A native to Rome, Tutio worked hard to expand his influence as a trading guru in grains and other vital agricultural resources from Syracuse. Activities in the Rhegium port brought Tutio and Cicero Cassianus into contact often. While the two enjoyed trade agreements that saw them merge their trading empires, Cicero Cassianus’ close ties to Carthaginian traders was a point of contention between the two, as Tutio is almost fanatically loyal to his city. His distrust of Carthage has made him keen to diversify his trade routes beyond from the Carthage--‐dominated southern Mediterranean.
