The Curia

[Mooks]

*Scipio rises slowly, barely hearing Avlvs's speech.He remembers the comment he made earlier, insulting the Cornelius house. Scipio makes a note to hire the local boys to egg his villa*

The samnites want only one thing, their land back. They care nothing for foreign gold, or foreign interests. Away from our soil they are strangers and will fight just as well as our legionarres do.

On your other point: The proposal by Servus was not a invasion of the whole of Greece, such a thing would require much more then 1 legion. But merely taking southern greece. Which we firmly believe is possible. If you personally think we will need more, perhaps adding extra hastasti or skirmishers for garrison duty will be enough for you?

"What Scipio says here is true. I think that the objectives in going to Greece were severely
misunderstood. The plan would be to sail to the Peloponnese, land, and take Sparte. There, we would
establish friendlier and more profitable shipping routes to Roma. I do not want to go to Greece for
greater personal glory or for conquest, i want to ensure better shipping and more wealth is reaching
Roma.

I would also not mind waiting to go to Sparte until things are finished in the north but i will not be in
approval for continued conquest in the north, when Greece could be so beneficial now."
