The vanguard of the Eastern Expedition arrived at the capital’s gates yesterday to subdued fanfare, its commanders presenting a campaign that delivered territorial gains in the lowland provinces while suffering a costly reversal near the mountain passes. Tribune General Varro, visibly weathered, addressed a brief assembly of officials and noted that supply lines had been the decisive factor in limiting further advance. The Senate is expected to convene a closed hearing within the fortnight to assess whether further resources will be committed or the frontier consolidated at its current position.
