I am pleased to report that the finalisation of the eastern border is 75% complete.

Side and Adana will from this point on mark the locations of Rome's two easternmost settlements, and both will be host to consular sized legions under the command of senators Manius Coruncanius, and Numerious Aureolus with Appius Barbetus as tribune.

Forts have been constructed at the two river crossings in central Galatia, where Manius Coruncanius is fighting a battle now, protecting our eastern border on this front. Another has been constructed at the land crossing between mainland Asia Minor and the isle of Cyprus.

All that is left is to clear out Prusa when we can acquire some freed up forces from the garrisons and to take Heracleia.
