House Taurinus has held the seat of Taurus for 287 years. They are not the oldest family in the Senate. They are not the most martial. But the Taurini are the family that feeds the Republic. Every Senator who votes on a war measure does so on Taurinus grain. Every justice who rules from the Hall of Seven Thrones eats bread baked from Taurinus wheat.
Ares alone walks Taurus. One god, one sign, one family. The war god's presence makes the Bull a military asset — but the Taurini interpret Ares not as aggression but as fortification. The Bull does not charge. The Bull holds the line.
The current Senator is Mategwas Taurinus — creator of the Ealdforn Republic, keeper of the granaries, signatory to the Coherence Covenant. The Bull's throne has never been more secure.
