Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Well... the Tarantum people are not as obvious as what Haibatrus said, but they really don't like to deal with our city-states on the greater Greece side." The soldier who knew Tarantum before- —Sitarses answered seriously: "It was only in recent years that they continued to invade the Mesapi people, and they proposed to build a southern Italian defense alliance in Great Greece to jointly resist the indigenous barbarians! Although like the previous Turui , Crotos and other city-states have joined, but everyone is actually not active..."

"Why do these Tarantums look down upon us!" Haibatrus said aloud: "Brothers, in fact you don't know, the Tarantums say they are descendants of Sparta, that's all fake! They Descendants of illegitimate children, children of Spartan women and slaves!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers were in an uproar. Most of them came from the poor and had no education. Of course, they were even less likely to understand the history of Tarantum. They asked in surprise: "Haibatrus, what you said is true Is it?! The Tarantum are Spartan women and slaves—"

"Of course it is true! As long as the soldiers of the original Turiyi citizens should know about this, it is said that it was hundreds of years ago, Spartan men have been fighting outside for a long time, the women...hehe...uncomfortable, actually Let’s do it with the slaves! When the children are born and grow up, after the Spartan men came back, they knew about it, how could they bear the insult, they drove them out of the city, so Sparta People build Tarantum not because they are crowded and food is insufficient, they are forced to colonize, but for the stability and reputation of the Spartan city-state, so it should not be the Tarantum who despise us, but we have to despise They! Just a bunch of bastards! A bunch of--" Heidibarus was ridiculed with pride, suddenly listening to the people around him shouting, "Be careful! Flash away!"

He hadn't reacted yet, and he was hit with a heavy punch on his face. He suddenly turned black and fell forward, but was fortunately supported by his comrades in the back.

"Hey, how are you beating people?" The shocked soldiers rushed forward to stop the angry soldier.

"Shut up for me! Shut up! You repeat, I'll beat you!..." The soldier's eyes were red and his face roared angrily towards Heit Barrus.

"Shut up, Prosius, you are crazy!" As the captain of the squad, Sitarsis quickly stepped forward and angered the wounded soldiers: "You will be punished by military law for provoking trouble, beating comrades!"

At this time, Heitbarus woke up and saw the coming person, and he was also raging: "You dare to hit me! Brothers, beat me! Beat this nasty stone!" After he finished, he rushed In the past, agitating Sitarsis and wrestling with Prosius, a few soldiers were actually encouraged by him and joined the fight.

The ship was in a mess, and the noisy shouts naturally disturbed the leader of the same ship, Parmanius. When he led him, Prosius had already sent those soldiers, including Heitbarus. Down on the ground.

"Prosius, do you want to be driven out of Dionyssia?!" Parmanius shouted Prosius, who was still angry, and shocked him. He thought of something and immediately stopped kicking. , Standing hand in hand.

"Tie him to me!" Parmanius ordered.

The soldiers hesitated to step forward, and Prosius remained motionless, allowing them to push themselves down on the deck.

"The captain, he did it first. I didn't provoke him. He came up and gave me a punch!" Heit Barrus pointed to the scar on his face and complained to Parmanius.

"Don't speak first." Parmanius ignored him, but asked the captain Sitarsis for the reason, and his face immediately became black.

"Why beat your comrades?!" Parmanius asked.

Prosius was tied his hands and forced to the ground, but it was how Ren Parmanius questioned it without saying a word.

Parmanius felt a headache this time.

Before, the First and Second Legions had many soldiers emigrating to Crimea and Asprostum, where the Fourth Legion would be established, so the First and Second Legions had to expand their recruitment to supplement Shortfall.

Prosius, as a registered gentile who applied to become a reserve citizen, is said to be from Argos, so after entering the new camp, his performance in training soon stunned the instructors in the military camp: this Young people are not only physically strong, but also highly skilled. Whether they are good at shields, spears, sabers, and javelins, they are also very skilled in marching arrays, and some of the unique tactical movements of Dionysia can be learned in a single step. Yes, it is easy to get the first place in the competition in the new camp.

The instructors were surprised by his military talent, and team officers at all levels heard about his deeds and rushed to ask him to join his team.Matonis is also one of them. It is said that he also left the relationship with Davos and eventually sent him to his team. He repeatedly reminded Parmanius to focus on training him.

However, Parmanius soon discovered that Prosius had a big disadvantage-he was out of gangs.He did a great job during training, but he didn't talk much during his breaks and rarely talked to his teammates. He always sat alone and didn't know what to think about.His teammates gave him a nickname "Stone" and accused him of arrogance, so when the fight just started, Hait Barus had so many helpers, which shows that the soldiers in the team did not like him.

"Very good, you don't say it now. When you get ashore, the military judge will let you say it!" Parmanius threw this sentence out angrily, and left, he still had to figure out how to mention this to Matonis. thing.

Prosius was tied to the mast. The strange eyes of the soldiers around him didn't care, and he didn't care about the punishment of military law, but his eyes were still red. He lowered his head and tried not to let the tears fall, because at this moment , He remembered his mother.

Prosius was not his real name. His name was Leotichides, son of the former Spartan king Akis, his mother finally chose to commit suicide because of gossip, and he finally made up his mind to leave Sparta.

When looking for shelter, he found that there were not many places for him to choose.The Eastern Mediterranean is now the world of Sparta, and Persia, who is at war with Sparta, may be a place to go, but although Leotzids wants to take revenge on Sparta, he does not want to corrupt his reputation and his father’s reputation, making the public think that the original It was correct to choose his uncle Agsilaus to succeed the throne.The Western Mediterranean is an area unreachable by Spartan forces, and there are many Greek city-states, but he also hopes that one day he will cause trouble to Sparta who humiliated him and killed his mother, so there are so few city-states to choose from.

Syracuse is one, but it is an alliance with Sparta.Carthage is one, but unfortunately it is alien and has no language, and Leotizides does not understand it at all.In the end, he chose Dionysia because Fibidas had accused him of sending Dionysia to the Council of Elders. Dionysia was rude to Sparta, but he was in the venue. The rare city-state alliance that dares to despise Sparta is very curious.Prior to this, the ombudsman Rithorpes had recommended to the Council of Elders what he called a "gentile with extraordinary military talents", and this person is now the Diona’s governor, Leotzi Des remembers clearly that his uncle also expressed concern about this person.

When he found an opportunity to escape from Sparta and came to Greater Greece, he discovered that Dionysia's influence was great in Greater Greece. It was almost the most powerful city-state alliance in southern Italy, and it was not yet established before it was established. Two years.

Leotizides was surprised by the rapid rise of Dionysia, he lived and observed at the port of Turriy, and learned about Dionysia's past deeds, the unique city-state management system and urban customs, especially After seeing a triumph, he had a premonition that one day this city-state alliance could realize his desire.He felt that he had come to the right place, so he decided to remain incognito and stay in Dionia.

He carried some gold and silver secretly deposited in Crete by his father Acis to support his life, and applied to the Union to become a citizen of Dionysia.Thanks to the brutal "Agago" training that Sparta received from an early age, he was able to stand out in Dionysia's recruit training, even before he became a reserve citizen, he obtained the official citizenship of the Legion.

But indulging in the sorrow of his mother's death and bearing the unforgettable hatred of the Spartans, he could not be integrated into this new group.But the term "illegitimate child" is a taboo for him, no wonder he will go crazy when he hears it.

………………………

The bay of Tarantum is shaped like a gourd, and the two naturally formed arc-shaped bays are stacked together, which not only expands the capacity of the port, but also makes it safer.The Tarantum people reinforced the opening of the gourd bay and the narrowing of the waist, built two water gates, and strengthened the defense against the port.

At this moment, the first water gate opened wide, and countless troop-carrying ships penetrated into it. Under the guidance and supervision of dozens of patrol ships in Tarantum, they sailed towards the northwest corner of the bay.The coastline of the entire bay is quite long. The city of Tarantum is in the southeast corner of the bay, and the land defense of the bay cannot be included. Therefore, Tarantum arranged the station of Dionysian reinforcements in the northwest corner of the bay. It is the weakest place in Tarantum City to control the Gulf, and it is also for the purpose of letting the Dionysians help defend the Gulf.

Daveus sailed past the first water gate, but the rough sea was not moving here, and he couldn't help but sigh: know that although the port of Turriy has built a breakwater, it digs inwards and Widening, the port is still a bit crowded. In the event of storms, damage to the ship is inevitable. Unlike the bays here, these issues are not considered at all. It is really a good natural port. I don’t know another famous good port in the big Greek city-state. -What is the port of Crotone?

Note: I have a little time today, and I want to talk about the historical Aceta.The information I have collected is more about his achievements in mathematics. In other aspects, there are only a few pens. He is called "Belikrish of Great Greece", and he has been in charge of Tarantum in his mid-year. After the official, Tarantum has maintained prosperity and prosperity in the Apulia region for more than a decade, but please note that even during this prosperous period, Brindisi and Manduria have never been towered. The record of Rantum occupation, that is to say, the prosperity of Tarantum is defensive in nature.He also invited Plato to be a guest in Tarantum when Plato was rejected by Dionysius II. Plato once thought that Archita was the expected philosopher in the ideal country he described, because Pythagoras The Si School not only inherited mathematics, but also had its own philosophy.Aceta finally died in a shipwreck, and the body was said to have been recovered only centuries later.

In the beginning of this book, there was no plan to write about his death at this time, but the butterfly effect of the protagonist, which made the Tarantum who had always defended Mesappe attack on it. In the end, the character wrote, not I came to this step under my control.The battlefield is always better than sleeping on the bottom of the sea, and his mathematical achievements can only be accomplished by others. I hope it is the Dionysian Academy.
