Today I have recalled the memory of when I had gotten the news my father; Nero Claudius Drusus had suddenly died on a campain in Germania. My mom, Antonia and I were left to live and succeed without my father! But from this we should grow, we should not dread from sorrow!

"To do no evil is good, to intend none better."
To all the citizens of Rome, This is a quote in which I say to all! To those who have done wrong doings, one's like my wife! My wife; Agrippina! Or evan my son; Nero! For they must follow this to end a life with less suffering!

This is a day I would call "interesting" for I was attacked by the citizens because of the fact that the corn supply has been very low, evan with the new harbor which I came up with(as you can read below). There wasn't an adequate corn supply coming in. But don't worry we got it under control.
All of these improvements are one's being made after the reign of Caligula. For I have had to make many reforms as I have said, and one of them would be the building/planning of two of the finest aqueducts in Rome!

Today is a big day! For today is the anniversary of accomplishing the provinces of Britania, Mauretania, and Thrace. For we shall bring to mind that I had reformed these provinces from which Caligula's mess he had left me with. For I had these provinces politicaly equal with Rome, and was agianst any kind of favoritism between the provinces and Rome.

As you all know, one of my biggest projects was the construction of the Via Appia when I was censor! Well the most recent project was the construction of the Harbor at Ostia(Rome's Port city). But if you had not known, this Harbor had too many problems with the trafic. All the ships coming in at once could not fit through the small single ship area, and would cause a big clog. I as Emperor had to come up with a different plan, I have been working on for a while now. Today i came up with a solution with a little help from Augustus, and Julius's plans(which didn't carry through). The solution is an artificial harbor, but the fast Tiberous river flowing carrying silt would make this new harbor unstable!
