Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Camillus knew that Rome had fallen behind and was very sad.He summoned the Romans who fled to Adi and formed an army. At the same time, he persuaded the Adi to join in. Then he found the right time and attacked the sloppy Celtic tribe who came to collect food at night and won a big victory.

The news of the victory spread quickly throughout Latium, Camillus was famous, and the Latino who hated the Celtics’ aggression came to surrender to him, and the Romans in the city of Veyron also asked to accept his command. .

After risking the appointment of a Roman veteran who is still adhering to the Acropolis of Capitoli and serving as a military dictator, Camillus reorganized an increasingly large team while attacking Kyle's characteristic food that invaded various Latham towns. team.

The situation of the Celtics became more and more difficult over time, because of the lack of food and fear of the attack of the Camulus army, they dared not go around and plunder.A large number of corpses piled up in the city of Rome. No one had to deal with it and buried it and caused the epidemic. Coupled with the unacceptable soil and water, the Celtics fell ill and died in battle. The morale was extremely low.

Celtic king Brunus, who had been in the city of Rome for half a year, was persuaded by many tribal leaders and decided to negotiate with the Romans.However, the Romans defending Capitoli Hill quietly learned that "Camilus was leading a large number of troops to the city of Rome", and refused to reconcile.

Despite his anger, Brunus was helpless, but he was not willing to leave empty-handed. Just as he hesitated, he heard Camillus leading a huge army to come to the rescue.In view of the low sentiment of the Celtics today, Brunus did not dare to lead his team to confront it and was forced to order a retreat.

However, less than ten miles from its withdrawal from Rome, the Camillas led a vigorous morale, the Latium Allied Forces caught up, and the two sides fought fiercely.

In the end, the Celtics suffered a fiasco, most of them were chased by soldiers, and a small number of people scattered and fled everywhere. As a result, all the people in the neighboring villages and villages were dispatched to search and arrest them, almost killing them, leaving only Brunus Dozens of people including his cronies fled back.

This battle caused the Celts in the upper reaches of the Po River Basin to be hit hard and their strength was greatly reduced.

The Romans suffered losses in this war with the Celtics, but it eased the conflict between the nobles and the civilians. The people who had migrated to Victoria returned to Rome and worked together to rebuild the city of Rome.The Senate also promulgated a number of bills in favor of reconciliation between nobles and civilians. At the same time, it actively took in many Roman exiles who lost their homes in this war with the Celtic.

In view of the lessons of the defeat in the Battle of the Alia River, Camillus combined with his previous combat experience and reformed the Roman army after receiving the support of the Senate. At the same time, Rome also unexpectedly received the strong support of a powerful country in the Western Mediterranean Therefore, in the second year after the war with Celtic, Rome began to regain its vitality, and began to attack the surrounding Latino city states that had left the League of Nations and abandoned Rome because of the war. After several years of hard work, Rome The majority of the cities of the Latins were brought back under their control and the Latin League was rebuilt.

During this period, the Etruscans in the north took advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Roman army to be pinned in the Latium area, and dispatched a large army to surround the importance of the Etruscans who spent many years capturing Rome The city-state, which is now a colonial city in Rome—Victory, tried to force it to surrender.

The Romans defended the fortified city, refused to surrender, repelled the enemy's attack many times, and crossed the river many times for help.

As soon as the Latin War ended, Camillus led the Roman army to attack the Etruscan army that surrounded Victoria on the north bank of the Taipei River.

The strength of the Etruscans, who had previously been ravaged by the Celtics, has not yet been restored, while the Roman army, which has implemented Camulus’ reformed military system, has strong morale. The two sides have fought several times and Rome has won.

After repelling the Etruscan army, the Romans did not give up, but after learning about the weakness of the Etruscans through the war, seized the opportunity to continue to the Etruscans who have threatened Rome for centuries The man's territory launched an attack.

Within a few years, as important Etruscan city-states such as Tarchna, Velch, Novi, Volsinii were captured, Rome It also brought most of southern Etruria into its own control.

During this period, the Walsi and Helnikians in southern Rome were afraid of the rise of a powerful Rome and threatened the security of their territory, and from time to time other forces around Rome invaded the territory of Rome and its allies, and this time It should be the largest in the past decade.

Daveus stared at Rome and its colonial city on the map, as well as his allies surrendered to him, and included a large area.

He didn’t know how much trouble caused Dionya to grow up, but for more than a decade, Dionya has been devoting a lot of manpower and material resources to integrate and unify Southern Italy and eastern Sicily. There is really no extra power to interfere in Rome, far away in central Italy, where the Dionysians are unfamiliar areas, sending large troops consumes too much for the Dionysian kingdom, and sending small troops It is easy to be eliminated.

He hoped that this time the Wallis attack from the nest would pose a threat to Rome.It is a pity that his previous life knew more about the history of Rome from the Punic War. Little is known about the history of the early rise of Rome. The only thing he knew was Camillus.Reading the information collected by the intelligence department and combining it with a little knowledge of his previous life, he only knew that Camillus, who was famous in the Latium region at that time, was the card that was called "the father of Rome" in the previous life. Mulhouse.

"Where is Camillus now?" he asked immediately.

Aristilas froze for a moment, and immediately understood that what Daphs said was the person he had kept them focusing on: "Before, Camillus did not take part in Etruscan because of his frailty. Commander. He has been in the city of Rome and there is no new news yet."

"It seems that this time the Romans will also let him serve as the commander of the Allied West." Daveus sighed: "Watch the war closely and report to me at any time."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Aristilas replied.

After pondering for a while, he remembered one more thing and said to his clerk Hernipolis: "Herni, you immediately give Sicily Katane, Naxos, Siculi, and Herbi Ta, Hera...The chief executives of these cities wrote letters. After the autumn harvest, they tried to persuade the people to sell the surplus grain to the city hall at an appropriate price for the relief of people in Jinan...

"Okay, Your Majesty. I will finish writing the letter and give it to you for review." After finishing, Henripolis was ready to write.

Daveus looked down at the icon of Rome on the map again, and sighed in his heart: this drought was really not the time...

…………………………………

Two days later, Davers again met the hurried Delphi priest Cretimeni in the palace.

For the invitation made by Delphi, Davers did not show joy.On the contrary, he only politely thanked Delphi, but proposed that unless Delphi publicly invited the Kingdom of Dionynia to join the Holy Alliance, Dionya would take action, otherwise Dionya should make the initiative to apply It is impossible!

Cretimene was stunned. He thought that in the face of Delphi's favor, Dionia would be grateful, but he did not expect that Daphus would be so cold and arrogant.

In fact, if Cretimi has a deep understanding of Dionysia's national conditions, he will surely understand why Devers did this.

Because Daphes is not only the king of the Kingdom of Dionysia, he is also a high priest of Hades Temple, a descendant of Hades, how can he actively obedience to the feet of another god, even though these two gods control The different fields will make him feel unable to explain to the priests of Hades and the majority of believers.But if it is the other party's initiative to invite, Davos finds it easier to accept.On the face of it, this is just a question of the attitude of the Lord and not the initiative. In fact, it is an important question that decides which of the two gods in Dionysia is the Lord and the Lord.

The two sides are at this critical point, and no one can make concessions.

Cretini had to change the subject to another matter-inviting Dionia to participate in the next Pitia Games, which will be held two years later (in the summer of 379 BC).

Daveus once again thanked the other party for the invitation, but reminded the other party: "Dionia is a multi-ethnic mixed kingdom. As long as the Pitiah Games allow Dionia’s alien citizens to participate, Dionia will inevitably team up to participate. ."

This condition is precisely what Delphi cannot promise independently. Such a violation of tradition must be approved by the members of the Holy Alliance.Similarly, Delphi certainly cannot risk angering Sparta and openly invite Dionia to join the Holy Alliance.

Krettimny thought that he had come with sincerity, but got nothing because of Daveus's arrogance. Eventually he left angrily, and the incident of Dionysia joining the Holy Alliance was put on hold.

However, after the angry Kretimny returned, he spread the rumors of "King Dionysia being arrogant and rude to Delphi" in the Delphi area.

For the anger of the Delphi priests left, Daphes disagreed, he did not think it is time to intervene in the affairs of the native Greece.As for Delphi’s willingness to promote Dionysia in Greece, Davos also laughed: For more than a decade, Dionysia has been attracting Greek free people from the vast Greek city-states in the Eastern Mediterranean, and has already formed a lot of A stable channel without the help of Delphi.
