264:
Rome defeats Epirus and liberates southern Italia. The First Punic War begins.
251:
The first Punic war ends quickly with Rome taking Sicilia. Rome allies with Emporion and Seguntum. Carthage attacks Roman allies and the Second Punic War begins. Carthage loses her island holdings and eventually Iberia.
240:
Epirus blockades Tarentum. With Carthage weakened and no fear of Phyrrus, Rome invades Epirus. After Epirus falls, Rome helps her Greek allies by defeating Macedonia. After Macedonia falls, Greeks betray the Romans. Rome allies with Egypt, enemy to the Greeks. Greeks fall with little effort to the great general Victor.
231:
The Third Punic War starts when Carthaginian Warships attack Roman transports near Sicilia. The last of the Carthaginian upper class die in the siege of Carthage. Pergamum 'allies' with Rome. Roman legions march from Italia, Illyria, Macedonia, to Thrace to open trade routes to the East.
221:
During this decade two nations betrayed Rome. In Africa the armies of Ptolemai marched on Lepsis Magna. Though Lepsis narrowly avoided defeat, Roman forces in Asia (much superior to Ptolemaic forces) crush city after city in revenge for Africa - a second victory for the Victor family. Meanwhile in Iberia, Iberian armies attack Roman cities after a Roman army is amushed in Celtiberia - while performing "peaceful exploration".
211:
This is where everything started looking up for Rome. The Iberian Wars end, but the Roman forces are too depleated to continue north. Rome fails to send reinforcement because all resources are directed east. Victor and Blasio defeat Seleucid army after Seleucid army and take Asia, Syria, and Judaea from Seleucia and Ptolemai. Meanwhile Nvmerivs Pavo defends against Gallic aggression.
201:
Power consolidated in Asia. Pavo defeates Gaul. Pavo reforms the outdated Roman military system.
190:
War with the Seleucids continues. Ptolemai has too much pride to see when he is defeated. Tired of continual raids, Roman legions march on Numidia.
180:
Rome consolidates power along the Rhine and Danube - allied with both Germania and Dacia. Mauretania's resources collected for the glory of Rome. Ptolemai's pride brings the fall of Eqypt. Within a year, Rome rules the most fertile valley in the known world - Ptolemai flees and cowers in fear. In the north a single legion, under the Rvso family, defeats more than ten thousand greeks and nomads to take Bosphoria. Rome looks with causion to the arising eastern empire.
170:
Cottas invade Britain. Victors invade Babylon. Rome consolidates power.
160:
From the south an army of Greeks and Nubians attack Thebais. Rome marches south to finish off the aging Ptolemai. Armenian allies to Ptolemai rise against Rome. With the loss of nearly two legions, Rome takes Armenia and makes the capital a subjugated nation. An unexpected peace is reached in Britain.
150:
Parthia attacks the Roman Republic. Armenia sides with Parthia and loses here independance as a result. To fund the war in the east Rome conquers the gold mines of Dacia - under a new Pavo - a Pavo with high ambitions and plans for the Roman world.
140:
With a difficult war underway in Persia, none of the three powers seeking control gain or lose ground. After a Germanian raiding party bypasses Roman defenses by crossing the Rhine delta, war breaks out on the northern frontier. A new Nvmerivs Pavo leads four legions to victory and expand Roman influence to the Elba river.
130:
Dacian victory Pavo assends to the throne and becomes the first emporer of Rome. The new emperor lowers taxes, reforms the military, grants citizenship, gives away land, and seeks peace with all who will have it - only Parthia and Germania refuse. Dispite better advice, a mad Roman general marches against the remaining Dacian armies. The madman earns a triumph (not really - but he should have - he was renamed Dacicus). Roman forces attack Media on orders of the new Emperor - to take the fight to enemy lands and away from areas now very Roman in nature.
120:
After ruling of about ten years, the emporer is dead. His son, Servivs Talmvdivs Pavo Caesar, has taken the throne at age 22. I have established a three territory border with Parthia (Seleucids as a buffer state). All of Germania is now in Roman hands, with the last member of the Sweboz family retreating to Scandinavia. I think I have reached the extent of conquest in mainland Europe (I don't want the steppes, except maybe Olbia). Casse attacked me out of nowhere, giving me a new next target...
Current invasion of Caledonia planned.
