    Most certainly I do (it's my favorite dish actually). But that belongs to another long story... Anyway if you are in the mood (the same goes for anyone else), check the Group now and then. I will start posting Roman-smashing pictures very very soon

    Does anyone got some information on Alexander I of Epeiros (brother of Olympias, mother of Alexander III). He campaigned in Southern Italy against several Italic tribes in the 330’s and died there. I found some information in Livy but this is biased (as usual with him).

    It’s somewhat before the EB period but it could be a nice background for a Epeirote Italian campaign :)

    Nothing special to know about him. He decided to aid Magna Graecia against Lucanians, Samnites, Bruttis and some other tribes. Won a victory at Paestum amongst others i believe and managed to conquer some cities.

    He later decides to cross Pandosia in 331 BC, which the oracle of dodona had told him to avoid at all costs. Go wonder, he fought a battle nearby, lost it, and got killed by Lucanians.

    What did you precisely want to know?

    Some Epirote background, army composition, political ideas..

    Stuff like that, for my upcoming Epirote campaign. I found something but it remains rather obscure :)
