After receiving the letter from Lucius concerning the Italic Tribes, Marcus had stopped the attack and made sure he did not lose a lot of men in combat. He then brought them back to Rome with honours, especially the fallen ones to have deserved burials and be honoured by the Romans.
Once they arrived at their beloved city of Rome, Marcus stopped his horse and looked at it for a moment before he raised his sword and exclaimed, "Roma immortalis!" The men yelled in unison with his words and then rode at full gallop to reach Lucius' house. The people in the city looked at them and threw flowers and palms to the feet of their horses in awe and respect for what their army was worth. Marcus smiled and welcomed their greeting. It did not take them long to arrive to Lucius' house. Soon he would be told of the arrival of his brother and how the battle had been before they were told of the new arrangements.
Marcus smiled and got off his horse, his men followed and did the same. He then spoke to a slave to tell Lucius that his brother had come back from war.

With the war ended and the armies returning, Lucius was pleased to see his step brother Marcus coming home. In joy the crowds of Rome welcomed him as a conquering hero, as he had been in war chosen for him. Quickly by the servants Lucius got woken up, but as soon he were dressed, he were ready to meet his relative. "Greetings brother, you bring great glory to Rome."He spoke smiling, glad to see him again. It surely were great that he had survived, although a good deed had he done by making the Illyrians accepting terms Rome offered. Gentle he laughed of happiness, but at the same time touched his shoulder in a friendly way.
"Come, lets go inside. I believe you have lots to tell, and I have news to tell."He said warmly, but calmly walked into their house as a celebration inside was to be held. Quickly the servants came with wine to drink and food for them to eat, it surely was great news about him and the army returning.
