Re: Basileus' and Chancellors Reports
Chancellor's Report Summer/Fall 264;
Military: Kleruchoi Phalangitai were raised in Antiocheia and Pantodapoi Phalangitai were raised in Sidon, which is besieged again by Aretas Rhakotidios of the Ptolemaioi.
Caucasian archers were raised in Mazaka, to be installed in the Amaseia garrison. The units from the Basileus' Royal Army currently located in Antiocheia were re-equipped with improved armor.
Persian archers from the Hekatompylos garrison were retrained to full strength.
Construction: Basic farms have been started in Halikarnassos, and the drainage problem in Antiocheia-Margiane has been solved, work was started at the beginning of the season and was completed by the end.
Internal Affairs: Our military might is unequalled in the known world! Let us all welcome Nikarchos A. Syriakes into the Royal Family, he has been sponsored by Alexandros Syriakos.
Taxes were temporarily lowered in Ekbatana (high) and Antiocheia-Margiane (low). The people there are still unhappy, perhaps they need a larger temple? Reports of discontent are also surfacing from Zadrakata.
Foreign Affairs: An emissary from Lusotanneia? has just been seen near Ipsos, perhaps they wish to open diplomatic relations with us, though they haven't made any overtures as of yet. Hopefully they aren't complete barbaroi, though sending an emissary instead of a raiding party is a hopeful beginning.
Intelligence: The captain-led Pontic detatchment has headed towards Sinope, it consists of Thessaloi Hippeis, Karians, peltastai and Galatioi levies, 6 units in all.
3 units of infantry have detatched from the Ptolemaic garrison at Hierosolyma, leaving a total of 2 there, no other activity besides the siege of Sidon has been reported in the area.
A large army from Hayasdan is near our new border in Kappadokia Pontike, though they have been respectful and did not cross it, I believe this is the same army that assisted Nikarchos in fighting those rebels.
Treasury: 5590 m'nai
