Act 2 and EPILOGUE

by David Jones
David Jones reads an excerpt from a longer work. This particular section concerns some soldiers of a world power on garrison abroad: hence the text is familiar to all of us who are living today, even though these soldiers are thought of as being garrisoned in a Roman Procuratorship two thousand years ago.
