Basileus' and Chancellors Reports

[The Celtic Viking]

Chancellor Report, Summer 263 BCE

Buildings
The formation of a new government in Alexandreia-Ariana has begun. In a year and a half it will be completely settled as a Satrapeia Seleukeia.

The hard working builders in our glorious Arche have finished the homes for our military settlers in Pergamon, so that if the Pergamese people should decide to revolt, we will have the soldiers there to help us out. In Halikarnassos, some simple drainage has been installed while a Melathron Epitropou is now at the governor of Charax's disposal. What's more, Amaseia has now offically a satrap of ours.*

Military
The second unit of Caucasian Archers have been trained in Mazaka, and the pantodapoi phalangitai and thureophoroi of Sarpedon's Royal Army have been retrained in Ipsos.

Internal affairs
This season saw a general increase of taxes in the Arche. Ankyra, Antiocheia, Mazaka, Amaseia and Antiocheia-Margiane are amongst the affected settlements.

Farmers outside of Antiocheia-Margiane have also reported worry over a small band of Pahlavan horse-archers that passed through the land swiftly. The conflict at our north-eastern border is heating up.

Foreign affairs
No news to report.

Intelligence
A large Ptolemaioi army has been spotted besieging Bostra.

Misc.
Captain Apollonides has temporarily joined with the 1st Lydian Army during their march west. Captain Artemon has reached Antiocheia, while Basileus Antiochos with his Royal Army has moved south within striking range of Hierosolyma.

Treasury: ~8000 mnai
