Many of the people who walked the busy streets of Rome were mere citizens. However, a few Templar guards were present, having been able to establish some kind of foothold around this area of Rome. They were currently winning the battle against the Assassins.
The sun beat down upon the white tunics of some citizens who had eagle-shaped hoods... wait. These weren't citizens.
There were two Assassins talking to each other, keeping eyes out for any listeners. They were seated on a bench, heads down low and talking in quiet voices.
