As part of the Family Matters event in the build-up to Julia’s Birthday in Anno 117 Pax Romana, you’re tasked with tracking down her daughter and ferrying her back for the festivities. After tracking down Diana Augusta near Syrah aboard her trireme, you’re soon given the choice of whether to send her to the party or tell her to stay well clear.
Given her dealings with slaver Caeso Syracus, it can seem like a pivotal decision, but it doesn’t amount to all that much either way you decide to lean. In this guide, we’ll walk you through whether you should tell Diana to attend the party in Anno 117 Pax Romana. Note that there are spoilers ahead, so stay clear if you want to experience the outcome first-hand.
- You can choose to accompany Diana to the party or ask her to stay away.
- The outcome is the same regardless of your choice.
- The only difference is in the details of Lucius’ ultimate fate.
Should Diana attend the party in Anno 117 Pax Romana?

Head down to Lilybaion, where you’ll be redirected towards Syrah. Sail over and interact with Diana’s ship near the island. After a brief cut scene, go through the dialogue, and you’ll come to the decision to send her to the party or not.
As far as Marcia and Marcus are concerned, the outcome is the same regardless of whether Diana crashes the party or not: Emperor Lucius dies. The only difference is in how he meets his fate.
- Diana attends the party: Diana confronts the emperor about his lies, causing him to suddenly take ill, presumably a heart attack, and pass away.
- Diana misses the party: Diana stays clear of the event, but you’ll still need to attend to deliver a gift in her name to Empress Julia. A slave murders Emperor Lucius.

From a moral standpoint, it’s probably best for Diana if she isn’t responsible for her father’s death. As such, getting her to avoid the party works out as the best choice in Anno 117 Pax Romana Family Matters. As for Lucius’s death, it mixes up the political landscape, setting you up for what’s next in the campaign. We also have a detailed guide covering Anno 117 production ratios if you’re aiming for peak efficiency.
