Aemilius

Aemilius was a Roman slaver who operated in Alexandria during the 1st century BCE.
==Biography==
During the 1st century BCE, Aemilius collaborated with Gaia Afrania, a fellow Roman living in Memphis. Aided by a gang of local bandits, Gaia took orphaned boys and girls into her care and sold them into slavery through Aemilius and his business contacts. By 48 BCE, the two would exchange a series of letters in regards to their trade.Assassin's Creed: Origins – Children of the Streets Aemilius, referring to the slaves as "bags of grain" to conceal their existence, noted that his clients were becoming increasingly frustrated with both the quality of the "grain" and Gaia's inability to supply it on time. However, Gaia retorted that Aemilius was unlikely to find anyone else who could provide a greater quality of "grain" and asked for more time to get her affairs in order.
Around this time, Gaia's operation ran into a series of problems, as one of her ships was burned and all of her slaves managed to escape before they could be transported. Unaware of how bad things had become, Gaia boarded her personal trireme and sailed for Alexandria where she hoped to meet with Aemilius and sort out their disagreements. However, while still in transit on the Nile, she was assassinated by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa, who had uncovered her scheme and was also avenging the death of Nef, a man her mercenaries had murdered for providing care to the orphans she had previously captured.Assassin's Creed: Origins – Mortem Romanum
