Step inside the Curia, the Senate House of Rome. Around this marble hall stand the magistrates of the Republic — from the young quaestor who counts the coins to the mighty consul who leads her armies.
Walk up to each one and they will explain their office: how old you must be, how many there are, what powers they hold, and where they sit on the great ladder of honours. There is nothing to win and no way to fail — just explore, and learn how Rome was governed.

🏛️ Meet the magistrates. Each figure around the hall holds a different office of the cursus honorum. Walk up and press E to speak with them; ask their follow-up questions to learn the details.
📜 Fill the ladder. The panel on the left lists every office. As you learn about each one, it ticks off — study all seven to complete your tour.
🔍 Examine the exhibits. The glowing objects — the fasces and the marble ladder tablet — explain the big ideas: imperium, the lictors, and the shape of the whole career.
🎓 No objectives, no failing. This is a place to wander and learn at your own pace.
