Pilate smiled as he put on the white toga. Sejanus had just told him the good news that his new appointment had been approved. He was anxious to tell his love the news. He walked under the large arches of the Julian Aqueduct and then through the Garden of Maecenas. As he approached the Proculeius Mansion, he thought about the beautiful girl whom he had fallen in love with. Her name was Proculeia  but it was changed to a Roman name Procula. Her grandfather was Gaius Proculeius and he was a close companion of Augustus.
A servant brought him into the atrium and asked him to wait. He smiled as he watched her step out from behind a marble pillar. He was in love.
The brown haired teen led Pilate into the garden and they sat down. " Have you come at last with the date of our wedding?".
" Procula my love, if you could go anywhere where would it be?".
" I don't know" she replied as they held hands. " Greece, Egypt perhaps".
" How about Judea?".
" Judea!".
" Tiberius Caesar has appointed me the new Prefect of Judea".
" If we are to be married" she said with a grin. " I will go wherever you go".
