The Turpis Harenae Organization
A powerful trade group in the Coruscaren Empire, they handle quite a lot of the country's trading within its boarders. If you want something, you can probably get it through them. Clothes, foodstuffs, tools, even weapons if you have the money. As a result, they are quite powerful and they aren't afraid to use that power. The consul of the emperor always has one member of the organization sitting on it to ensure their political and economic motivations are met. The emperor, usually, is no fool and is well aware of what they're after though usually attempts to keep them happy. After all, more money for them means more money for him in the end.
As a wealthy trading company, they also sponsor a lot of games at the gladiatorial arenas throughout the country. They keep a hundred or so gladiators, ready to fight whomever they chose. Losing one is a financial loss, as their victory usually brings in a good profit from the betting.

One of the most common items to find in their shipments is olive oil. Coruscare is known for its high quality olive oil and the organization sells some of the finest. It is also one item that can be found in almost every household as it is used in cooking quite regularly as well as certain religious ceremonies. There are also several cosmetic and cleaning applications that citizens take full advantage of.
This single good is the backbone of all their trade and they guard it jealously. Competitors entering the market with it often stay small or get wiped out as they don't want to lose their profit margins or power within the empire.
