Will of the Senate - Senate Deliberations II

[Death the destroyer of worlds]

I am pleased to see such a lively debate. I just want to clarify some issues at this moment.

Carthage and Rome have been at war for a very long time, but hostile actions have stopped once we conquered Sicily and the islands. Still, no cease fire has ever been signed, altough several attempt were made by us to reach an agreement. Trade with Carthage would be extremely profitable for us. They have shown that they are capable of mounting naval invasions and we should be wary of this.

The only troops that crossed the Danube are the Legio I Italia Victrix. My reason for this action is that it is the only way I could think of to stop the Thracian invasions. The taking of Luvavum should shift the action to that town and relieve pressure on Aquileia. We still need a legion there to guard that border crossing. The second legion recruited after this will be posted there, if possible.

Tiberius Coruncanius will guard the river crossing at Ratiaria, and attack any Thracian forces that enter our territory. Then he will withdraw to the crossing again. I will not allow Roman troops to stay on the other side of the river.

I encourage you to continue the debate and propose motion in the upcoming senate session (2 more turns).
