Yes, I know the second picture is Roman, but that's about the best pic I could find for what I was looking for...

The ViZionarian Empire is getting ready to move into Luxemburg. Conquistador Edgar Botella himself signed the notices to be sent out to the nearly two thousand men ordered to prepare.
Enter into the fortified city of Centro Del Mundo, or the "Center of the World". Through the massive, thick, towering main gate, you walk in. The sun was setting, people hurrying to light their fires. It was a clear, warm night. The wide avenue ahead was jammed full of merchants, carts selling items and food, as well as people and slaves. You could hear the clickidy-clank of the rickety wooden cart carts rumbling over the grey cobblestone.
The sound of clapping from horses walking through the streets could barely be heard over the buzz of the city. The glow from windows and torches outside buildings, as well as crud street lamps, grew ever so quickly, as the darkness set in rapidly.
Ahead about two miles, you could see what looked like a hill, a very tall one, with cliffs straight up-and-down. It almost looked like the top of an anthill; it was continually moving and shifting like a busy farm.
Multiple legions which have been collected from the various regions across ViZion, including Rotia, Belconia, Whinn, and Onstador, gathered at the Botella Center, a massive, open square on this hill.
Nearly 2,000 soldiers were gathered in this square, which was raised over 400 feet above the bulk of this magnificent city. The square was decorated with red and yellow bricks, creating patterns with various hues of red and yellow.

To the north of the square, there were some more buildings raised above the square. To the south, a rather steep, but wide, path made its way down, winding around the raised area, to the city floor.
"Men! You are gathered here today for a rightful cause! A cause that will put you down in history forever! We must take what is rightfully ours! We must spread the word of our God, and make these people are of us! They are us, and we must show them that.” yelled the Conquistador from a raised . The men cheered, whooped, and hollered. It seemed as if an earthquake has occurring as these men stomped their feet in unison. They were holding their weapons and shields high in the air, the horses rearing back on their aft two legs.
The men rallied around the Conquistador, chanting his name, and yelling ViZion. After the two hour rally, the men were fed, and then allowed to rest for the night. They were to begin their move to the north-east at sunrise, a few hours away.
At Sunrise…
The men were up, the wagons packed, the armor set. Through the gates men and beast left, refreshed and excited. They were headed to Luxemburg to claim what was rightfully theirs, and show the nomads the ‘real’ life.
