How about a 12 page letter from Vircingetorix in Gallo-Celtic and Latin to Julius Caesar pleading for Rome to accept Gaul as a loyal ally by showing their common religious practices, trade, agricultural and metal working. A political common front against the Germans and offering colonies on the Rhine and a joint conquest of Germania?
