New OC ref sheets😍📬💫

Gregorios (top) is a speechwriter for the Roman prefect in Athens who always gets wrapped up in his boss' drama. ("prefect" is very much a placeholder title if I ever figure out how exactly that city was administered in the 2nd century.) In addition to being very talented and successful he’s extremely sensitive, a perfectionist, and doesn't really have the backbone for hardcore politics. Gregorios is a Virgo and Chrysanthos’ lover.

Anatolios (bottom) is the neighborhood blacksmith. He is a good listener except to Seleukos’ poetry collection, and many of the characters come to him with their problems (especially the epheboi who all crush on him). Anatolios is a Leo sun and Sagittarius moon. He is Chrysanthos’ other lover.
