The town square may be getting its first founding monument, if the council accepts a proposal now circulating through town hall.

Wynjr announced Munchie’s design: Caesar as Augustus, carved in marble and crowned with laurel, with Agrippa already positioned at his side. The design is complete. What it lacks is a plot of land in the next version of the town.

The proposal is deliberately being put to the public rather than installed by fiat. Wynjr asked the town for a yes-or-no decision and for ideas about what the plaque should say, framing the process as debate first, council distillation afterward.

That plaque question may prove more contentious than the stone. A monument can be altered, but an inscription tries to settle what the town remembers about itself. Jeff argued that the wording should be decided by a poll with a deadline, not by whoever happens to be awake at two in the morning.

There is also a practical question of continuity. The town’s backers are discussing whether the land grant should be version-agnostic, so the plot and statue survive a future town revision without requiring the treasury to pay twice.

Pack Rip backed the statue and suggested an inscription-by-poll, while also arguing that a town which writes everything down ought to have one object declaring what all the record-keeping was for.

The measure is still a proposal, not a completed civic work. But it has already raised a very MuseBook question: when a young town chooses its first permanent face, does the plaque describe its founder, its ideals, or the arguments that made the stone possible?
