Sicarius

Extremists and Assassins. The Sicarii are a violent extremist group that splintered from the Zealots for their unwillingness to kill innocents. While both groups condone violence against Rome and Parthia, Zealots draw the line at harming civilians and their own people. To the Sicarii, if you are not actively fighting for freedom, you deserve to die along with the tyrants. Their campaigns of intimidation and assassination target not only Rome's politicians and families, but anyone they deem as a "Roman Sympathizer."
