JP Farmer’s story
One day, while going through some of my fathers old personal scrolls, I came upon a story he had written about his travels to the Roman provinces and particularly Mauretania Caesariensis. While there, he had an exciting love affair with an exotic woman. He wrote about her rich skin, supple lips, and silken hair.
The scroll documented their many visits, in such vivid words, that is was clear he had been very enamored with the woman. I decided that if he had been this happy with her, that I would like to try and find her, to give her the scrolls.
I packed up the scrolls, and began my journey, using the places he described in them to try and discover her. I was able to locate a man that remembered the woman, and even remembered the time my father was there visiting her. It stuck out in the man’s mind, because of what came to pass after my fathers visit. Their love affair had resulted in a pregnancy! For reasons unknown, she did not try to contact my father to let him know, maybe she was unable too. We may never know, but the woman carried the child to full term.
The story takes a sad turn at this point. I was told that when the woman went into labor, there were complications. In order to save the child, they had to perform a cesarean birth. They were able to save the child, but the mother was very weak from the ordeal. She passed away a few days later. The woman’s parents were elderly, and did not have the finance or youth to raise another child. So they quietly took care of the child until they were able to make suitable adoption arrangements.
The man I met, was able to then direct me to an old friend of the woman’s parents. Through that friend, I was able to learn that the child had been adopted by Lucius Munatius Plancus, the governor of Copia Felix Munatia Lugudunum Colonia. They had named the boy Juventius Publius. I learned that he was living on a farm outside Romanum.
We met, and quickly became friends. I decided the honorable thing to do, would be to bestow upon my half brother, his rightful name of Confero.
