Basileus' and Chancellors Reports

[The Celtic Viking]

Basileus & Chancellor's Report, Winter 259 BCE

Buildings
A Naiskos Mordekou is being constructed in Hierosolyma to appease the population, who are only kept in peace by the threat of the sword. A Choriton Syllogos Strateumatos is being built in Zadrakata, a Megaron Epitropou is also being constructed in Prophthasia. The mercantile port in Charax is also being expanded to promote more trade.

An Ocheteia Haple has been constructed in Alexandreia-Ariana, and in Antiocheia-Margiane a Choriton Syllogos Strateumatos is finished. Nikaia now has roads, and Hekatompylos is sporting some pompous festivals each year.

Internal affairs
Taxes were lowered in Byzantion, while taxes were on the other hand raised in Zadrakata again.

A small band of rebels have appeared in Nikarchos' satrapy. They should be easy to dispatch.

Foreign affairs
The war between our allies, the Romani, and the Arverni barbarians in Gaul as ended as the latter has now been made a client kingdom of the former.

Intelligence
Because of the unrest in Hierosolyma that is being fed by foreign agents, which is at this time only kept in check by the 1st Syrian and Aratos own presence, we have recruited some agents of our own there with the goal to root them out and rid us of this problem. As it turns out, it was successful and although not all agents are removed, some have already been found and promtly executed.

Misc.
Phormion Armeniakon has been moved further towards Ipsos as he asks. Sarpedon's Royal Army has moved on further towards the border as well.

Panaitolos Ankyrikos has married Agave.

3 RGBs have been recruited in Antiocheia and one in Arbela.
