Omnia Vincit Amor
Omnia vincit amor; Love conquers all. This is a story that follows the princess of Rome, the daughter of General Acacius and Lucilla. The future wife of Emperor Geta. - I'm obsessed with gladiator two right now, so I wrote an x reader! Reader x Geta/Reader x Caracalla. ⚠️spoilers!⚠️ ⚠️The reader will be around 19, even though the oldest she could be in the movie is 16, as Lucilla and Acacius married 16 years right after the first gladiator movie. The emperors are in their late twenties in the movie as well. I want it to be age appropriate, so the reader is 19 and the twins are 25!⚠️ (Fun Fact; the title is a phrase in a poem by the Roman poet Vergil. My information is google lol)Complete![The Emperors Childish Reign [Fred Hechinger] [FINISHED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/387349237-256-k526094.jpg)

Beneath her stunning beauty and gentle demeanor, Sennia is no helpless pawn. She soon realizes that to protect herself and her family, she must play the game of empire, balancing her marriage's political significance with her growing desire for independence.
