Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Later in Turri’s days, Galni often couldn’t sleep at night, often thinking: the tribes were busy grazing cattle and sheep and hunting wild animals in order to survive, but the Dionysians had the time and energy to carry out Planned and orderly military training, even if the Samone Army where he was originally can actually compete with the Dionysian Army, it will certainly not be its opponent!

Later, he learned that there were as many as seven or eight military camps like this in Dionysian territory, which was greatly hit, making it one of the reasons why his attitude towards Dionysian began to change.

The Samonei suddenly became silent a lot, and at the same time they were even more full of anticipation for the upcoming city of Turi.

Going further, the terrain becomes more and more flat and open, and houses and villages gradually increase.

Not far ahead, there is a smooth road connecting the stone bridges across the Koseni River. Busy pedestrians come across the Koseni River and eventually converge on this main road, making the already crowded people more crowded huge.

In fact, the main walking object of this road is usually pack cars and kingdom slaves carrying stone and copper ore. In this lively September, for the safety of traffic, these are temporarily suspended, but from the Bruti area to the map The Dionysian people who participated in the ceremony increased the utilization rate of this road.

The sound of the carriage, the hissing of cattle and sheep, the sound of pedestrians talking, the crying of children... The flow of people on the avenue is a huge source of moving noise, and it is also the producer of garbage, the excrement and leftovers of pedestrians and livestock The food scraps are all over the floor, pedestrians are struck inadvertently, and the air is filled with an unpleasant smell.

The loss-making Samonei and Potentias vomited bad things about it.

The youth explained this: "The cleaning of the avenues and sides in Turriy is carried out by the various demos in Turrii. These roads are usually cleaned up by them, but the pedestrians during this time are too It’s much more, and the people of Demo also have to watch the celebrations and competitions, so they can only do a simple cleaning at dusk and early morning...After this busy time, the road will become clean."

"What is De Mo?" someone asked curiously.

"In a nutshell, De Mo is a small town formed by combining several villages. In Turui, there are now 68 German shepherds, and it is still increasing."

The casual explanation of the youth made the Samonais speechless.In the mountain area of ​​Samone, it is difficult to see a village (that is, a tribal settlement) on a mountain road for half a day, and there are hundreds of villages in the central city of Dionia, which really shocked them: there should be How many people?!

The Samonais used their not-so-smart brains to think hard. In fact, after they passed Niutum, these Samonais who had been accustomed to few people grazing and hunting in the mountains began to feel a little uncomfortable. Because there are too many pedestrians along the way, I am afraid that they all exceed the population of Abenerum.

"We're going from here!" At this moment, the young man shouted loudly, leading the Samonais to the right toward a branch road.

"Leader Garni, May God Savoni bless you (Savoni, God of War adored by the Samonais) and win the game!" Ginat saw that the slaves of the leader did not follow, so he waved to them. Farewell.

"Ginat, thank you for your care along the way, and welcome you to visit Abenirum!" Guerny also responded friendly, and this is what Ginat wants to hear, this dare to take risks The Potentia businessman had been fighting the idea of ​​the neighbor for a long time, but in the past, although the Samonians and the Potentians no longer engaged in war, but the relationship was unfamiliar. He has a sense of confidence in Nepal’s friendship.

"Krotox, thank you very much for your selfless help! When I sell cattle and sheep, I must invite you to drink at the Cristoa restaurant!" Ginat then thanked the youth.

The young man smiled and declined politely: "Thank you for your invitation, but I will be busy with celebrations and competitions these days, and there is really no time."

After saying goodbye to Ginat, the young people led the Samones along the north bank of the Koseni River to the east. The houses on both sides of the road gradually became denser, and they were mostly two- or three-storey buildings, which was different from the main entrance of a typical Greek house. , They are all facing away from the road, so tall buildings stand next to each other and stand directly beside the sidewalk. Although this branch road is also wide, there are drainage ditches and sidewalks on both sides, which are not narrow, but the view is blocked. Gives a sense of depression.

"Why haven't you arrived in Turriy?" Tatoni shouted a little irritably.

The young man smiled and said, "Actually, we have entered the city of Turri."

"Has entered the city of Turi?!" Tatoni thought he was laughing and joking: "We never saw the city wall."

"Only the inner city has a wall in Turriy, and no other city has built it..." the youth explained.

It turned out that after the Southern Italian War, many free people and foreigners flooded into Turriy every year and wanted to become citizens of the kingdom. The surge in population led to the continuous expansion of Turrii's urban areas.

"...We are now on the edge of the city of Turiri, at least four miles away from the inner city."

Four miles?!All the Samoan people took a deep breath: what a big city it must be!

Including Guerni was also deeply shocked. Although he spent half a year in Turriy eight years ago, the city of Turiy at that time was not as big as it is now, and it can only be said that the development of Turiy was too fast!

"The city of Turriy has no walls, aren't you afraid of the invasion of foreign enemies?!" The quarterback Maionillo of the Samonet team participating in this football game asked provocatively as the group of Samoines The second warrior who participated in the last war, he was both awed and somewhat unwilling to Dionia.

The young man glanced at him and said aloud: "The Dionysian Senate once asked the king a similar question at the time, hoping to build an outer city wall, but King Daveus said-"The young man straightened his chest: "'Figure Riy is located in the center of the Kingdom of Dionysian, with mountains as barriers, seas as barriers, strong legion defenses, and strong fleet escorts. If all of these are attacked by the enemy into Turiy, then Dioni There is no need to exist in the Kingdom of Asia!'"

In fact, there is another important reason why the city of Turiyi did not repair the outer wall. That is, the city of Turiy is very large. Although the construction of the outer city wall is a huge project, Turrii is still expanding, waiting for several years. I am afraid that this outer city wall has turned into an inner city wall again... So to encourage teachers and consume the treasury, it will not have any great effect in the end, so it is better not to build it.

Of course, the Samonais did not know this, and after listening to the youth, they became silent.

Pedestrians on the slip road are decreasing.Many pedestrians who come to Turriy many times know that at this time, Turrii’s food and accommodation are very tight, and the farther he goes to the inner city, the higher the price, so they will choose to walk into this building, and The owner talks about renting, which is why the owner built the house so tall.

As for why you have to turn your back to the road, because although it is only a side road, it is also crowded and noisy every day. The back to the road, the use of small windows and thickened walls can reduce noise and prevent residents from seeing An annoying street scene with a barely passable living environment.

Going forward for a while, such houses that stood on both sides of the road like a city wall disappeared. After passing two smiling Hermes stone statues in the boots, flying boots, and fingers in front of the road, the view in front was again Widening up, the familiar traditional Greek house is in sight.

Without waiting for everyone’s inquiry, the young man took the initiative to explain: “When we Dionysians rebuilt the city of Turiyi, His Majesty Dapheus and the elders had imagined the future of Turiyi city prosperity, so A lot of public land has been prepared around the city, which is not allocated to citizens, but used as an expansion of the urban area in the future. From here onwards, the area of ​​the Turi city area was originally envisioned. Alas, just did not expect the expansion of Turi city. So quickly, it has expanded to the "land" of Turiri citizens.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Agriculture has regulations,'It is not allowed to convert cultivated land for other uses.'The construction supervisor will also regularly check the quality of the newly built houses, and also limit the height, otherwise the citizens behind will not only have two or three-storey houses built on the roadside, but all over them. The five or six-storey building on the ground is then rented out to the reserve citizens and free citizens to obtain high profits without cultivating farmland!"When the youth spoke here, there was a trace of disgust in his face.

In addition to marveling at the large population of the city of Turiy, the Samonians did not feel much more.But between these neatly arranged houses and criss-cross streets, they see temples or altars intermingled from time to time.

From the mouth of the young people, they learned that these temples not only enshrine the gods of the Greeks, but also the temples worship the gods of Asinu in Lucania, the goddesses of the plateaus Amara and Bulu Rutus, Mesapi, Puchti's racial protector-Lekaon... The gods of the aliens were enshrined in the Greek-dominated city, and the believers did their own thing without any conflict. , Which surprised the people of Samone.

At this moment, the youth pointed forward and said, "Look, that is the arena where you will play next."

A huge building stands beside the road hundreds of meters away. It is the Asinu-Amara Arena.

After the Southern-Italian War, Dionia all owned the land of Southern Italy, more towns were merged into the Kingdom, and the number of teams participating in the football and football finals naturally increased several times. The stadium is not enough, so three new arenas have been built one after another, half of the cost is allocated to the treasury, and half of it comes from donations from wealthy kingdoms.
