"ARE YOU MAD?" , Lvcvllvs Valerivs lost his temper. "You speak of a privilege of leading Roman soldiers, and then sacrifice them taking a city, which you would give back to the enemy for lousy 7'000 mnai? "

Avlvs Aemilivs arose and said:

"Forgive my friend, senator. He - and I - just can't believe that you suggest to take the most important city the enemy has, the one where he can recruit his elite-forces and the one with his greatest harbor - which would give us more than 7'000 mnai for longer periods - and then give it back to the enemy.

As I proposed in Edict 6.4. , the capital city of Epeiros, Ambrakia, is to be taken by Legio II, in order to put the Epeirotes ambitions to destroy us to an end. With that I meant to take AND to keep it.
