    Anyway one wouldn't want to break with tradition, would one, eh? The payout was quite fruity at 20,000 I do believe, and enhanced my sinews of war most unequivacally.

    Most of the time I refrain from some such acts, as being unworthy of a civilised Greek. When one conquors, superiority should be demonstrated in all aspects, besides I like the history of greatness to be alive and kicking, it enriches my provinces.
    IIRC both Antiochus III and IV died while looting temples in Babylonia to try and pay off war indemnities (Ant III had to pay the Romans 10,000 talents - something like a million [or ten million, I forget] minai). So yes, there are some historical precedents for looting temples as a Greek

    Edit: oops, I misremembered. 1 talent = 60 minai, according to the FAQ.
