Glory to Rome
Why does the Republic version start with no Jack in the starting hand?
The rulebook's Imperium exceptions list a four-card hand plus a Jack, and the designer gives the petitioning reason.

The Republic version deals five cards and no Jack, because its easier petitioning makes a starting Jack unnecessary. The Imperium version deals four cards plus one Jack.
