This assignment deals with the 3rd and 4th Macedonian Wars. The 3rd war began
in 172 BC which lasted until 168 BC on June 22 after the Battle of Pydna in which
Perseus, the son of Philip V, was defeated by the Romans. The 4th conflict was
preceded by rebellions in Macedonia in 149 BC and developed into a war the
following year. In 149 BC, in another front, the 3rd Punic War exploded into
the scene and in 148 BC, the Achaean Confederacy went to war against Rome
as well. So as you can see Rome had quite a handful. Therefore, you will have a
handful. The land is enormous and rugged. Set up shop wherever you wish but
do realize that trade is by sea and there are no land routes, so find the appropriate
harbor. You won't become rich very fast in this region but you will have a
wealth of challenges to face, feeding your people and being caught up in the wars
previously mentioned. Rome will request some items and military assistance to
fend off the Carthaginians in some parts of the Roman domain. There are grand
scale invasions here so use your talents in strategic defense well, for a roman
presence must survive here. As for nature acting up, tremors are usually felt
in this part of the world. Signs of that are collapsing mines. So have fun, shields
up, swords ready and do some business.
