At the end of the first act, you should find yourself back in the city of Rome. This is where you can start the Vinyard Quest. Although this quest is optional. We suggest you take it as it helps you build a nice bit of denarii before you dive into the next act.

The quest starts from your home when you talk to Syneros. He will let you know how well your vineyard is doing and suggest you should take a trip to the market to sell the produce. Once you head to the market, you will meet with three Merchants; Cordius, Quintus, and Vipsanius. 

Each merchant will make an offer for your wine. Keep in mind at this point, you would experience a 5-year time skip forward. Cordius offers you 5000 denarii at the end of the 5 years. You don’t get the money instantly but will be 5000 denarii richer after the time skip. 

Quintus offers you 3400 denarii on the spot. Your family has a long-standing relationship with him as your father had business with him before. If you are taking the moral road with your character, he would be the right choice.

Vipsanius offers you 4000 denarii in total. He offers half before and a half after he has received the wine. Unfortunately, Vipsanius does not keep his word after the time skip. This leaves you with only 2000 denarii.

For the best deal, keep the time skip in mind. With Cordius you will receive 5000 denarii, Quintus 3400 denarii, and Vipsanius 2000. Clearly, we have 2 choices. The better of the two would be Cordius, as you earn the most. To keep a good relationship though, you might want to go with Quintus. 

To start the Olympian quest, you need to have conquered Mytilene. You would also have to have access to your legion, Legio VIctrix. From there, you will then travel to the Temple of Apollon in East Asia Minor. 

When you get into the Temple, go straight past the market and go up one flight of stairs. Take a left. There you will see Pigres standing by a statue. Talk to him. He will then call and accuse Syneros of dealing in bad faith with his grandfather. Pigres will demand revenge. 

You can either end the quest here by saying you don’t have time for it, or you can suggest that Syneros and Pigres’s grandfather have a rematch. Pigres will accept the match in his grandfather's name, and they start fighting.

Syneros beats Pigres by breaking his collarbone, and that concludes that part of the quest. When you return to the Legion you will find Diodoros at the gate waiting. Diodoros and Syneros have a battle of riddles to finally put the dispute to rest. 

Diodoros will ask you about 7 riddles, and you can choose between three possible answers. Alternatively, you can also use the Ethos or Logos methods to answer the riddles. 

Here is a list of all the Riddles and their potential answers:
