This was one of the compounds that were assigned to various Legions; an office for when a legatus was in the Capitol, and still needed to attend to the duties of his station. The Ist legion, always headed up by one of noble blood -- most recently High Legatus Varis yae Galvus, now Emperor. This one had been closed down for some time, locked and barred. However, they had not changed the locks-- or found all of Nero's hidden ways in and out, so it was easy to get access to it. All the windows were shuttered with iron, and there were still supplies here. Most of the food had long gone since bad but some of the things in the refrigeration units were still edible, if freezer burned.
There were also warm beds, and the officers suits heigher in the building -- four of them beloged to the command staff of the XIVth, and a couple were used for guests.
Gaius dumps his things in his old suite, and is pleased to find it wasn't looted. Like as not, most people thought there was nothing of value there. But there were warm clothes to wear.
"You two are a like size with Nero," he told the elezen, "so raid his things. Not like he's coming back for them."
Sevara gets a long look, and something is weighted in his heart-- grief versus need. Then he unlocks the door to Livia's room, and says, "My daughter was taller than you, but I'm sure you can find a warmer coat in her things."
