The Curia

[Mooks]

Has anyone considered sending a diplomat to open trading ties to the factions of the east? The far off Egyptians, selecuids, and even the Macedonians dont have trading contracts with our merchants (correct me if im wrong). While the barbarians might not be friendly, their gold might.

Also, I propose a peace be made with the Epirotes if we are not planning to invade the Illyrian coast. Then a trading contract be made. War with the Epirotes serves no purpose to Rome if it merely lessens our coffers and angers our merchants.
