The second ring of the city is protected by a low but thick wall. They ride past large collections of manufacturing-based businesses and mud brick houses, that look to be the homes of those below the poverty line.

The third ring is protected by a higher but slightly thinner wall. They pass upper-middle class homes, government buildings, merchants, and a few military buildings.

The fourth ring is the last one, and is taken up by the Emperor's palacial complex. It is protected by a thick and high wall with a sloped outer edge.

Sextus' court is a morally corrupt place. People bet on a gladiatorial combat in a small arena set into the floor. In another area are several exotic dancers. Sextus himself gives the impression of a previously fit and skilled fighter who has indulged in a few too many feasts.
