Ah, I totally agree with you there Aulus Aemilius. Our men are much better than what most people think, for we have several advantages. The islands I speak of are the Beleares, Korsim and Sardin. Now I realise that Carthage has control of these islands but at the moment they are difying us by owning them. Korsim and Sardim are ill defended and could be easily taken and I'm sure our noble diplomats could bring the peace back. I believe this way we could maximise massive profits, especially from Beleares. If not then we could send an expeditionary force to Krete to establish some relations down there.
