    IIRC Romans can get artillery through regional MICs in major Hellenic cities (Syracuse, Athens, Pella).

    Rome at this point still used levy armies, while artillery requires a professional engineers' corps.

    I think you could get it in Syracusae, since it was historically used there.

    I edited the script to my liking to make the reforms come quicker. Although the campaign became boring and there were about 5 battles every single turn so i kinda put it on hold
