Chancellor Report, Winter 268 BCE
Buildings
The east will see even more city-state festivals as the preparations for those has begun in Alexandreia-Ariana as well as Antiocheia-Margiane.
In honour of the Syrian god, Atargatidos, the construction of a larger shrine to her is being constructed in Sidon.
Otherwise, the only finished building this season was the small temple of Artemis in Sardis.
Taxes
Halikarnassos as well as Asaak had their taxes raised, while Ipsos and Sardis saw some lower ones, a decision that was made because the area desperately needs a boost in population. The retraining of my RA as well as the 1st Lydian Army is costly in terms of men.
Military
A unit of caucasian archers has been trained in Mazaka for my own Royal Army. They will be replacing my band of persian archers.
Two units of akontistai have been trained, one in Sardis for the garrison of Halikarnassos and one in Antiocheia for the garrison of Sidon.
Foreign affairs
Trading has been established with the Gauls known as the Aedui.
SPQR, our allies, were kind enough to donate 4379 mnai as a token of their admiration of our valour and courage. No doubt this is also in recognition that we are the most advanced faction on Earth!
However, the Pontic army still stays put, and on top of that a new, smaller Pontic army has been sighted a stonesthrow from Mazaka.
Misc.
Persepolis has grown and the governors mansion there must be improved. Where is satrap Andromachos Syriakos?
I have moved the parts of my army that is not already in Pergamon towards that city. I have also moved a unit of akontistai from Sardis to Halikarnassos.
Treasury: ~7900 mnai
