IC: The Roman Imperator lies idley in Rome, flipping through the pages of a Roman History book. Today, Rome is a fairly large nation, covering a fairly substantial land area...yet, it was not always so. Once, parts of Southern Italy and the whole of Sicily had been under Greek control...and so...:
March 18, 1735:
A Roman general pores over maps of Italy. As of now, all of Italy from Cosenza down is under Greek control, as well as Sicily. Italy had long eyed these territories, yet the Greek Army had always staunchly stood in the way of Roman conquest. Now, however, the time has come for the Romans to march.
