Arnza Perpana Stands once more:

"Men of the Senate, I beeseech you. Do not wage war with Carthage, as senator Quintius Livius, and myself, have said: Carthage is not one to be messed with. The effects will be catastrophic, and Denatus, won't a war with Carthage cost more legions, than a campaign with Greece? The greek people, are not rebbellious. They will require little "Reassurence" once we have captured their cities, seen what good roman steel can do to a greek warrior, and (if it need come to this) watched their brethren enslaved. If the intelligence is to be believed, than a war with Epiroes is needed. The Epirotes, have supposedly subdueded the Illyrians before, thus, an attck with them can mean only one thing, they wish to make Illyria a client kingdom under their rule so they may reap the benifits of the Illyrians raiding our coast. No, this is not to suppress piracy, it is to endorse it. On the matter of the "two great kingdoms", they should not be worried about. The Seluicids are indeed allied with the Macedonians, and the Ptolomaics with the Greeks, but they are nothing. The Seluicids are to busy with problems of thier own. Are they not at war with the Ptolomaics? They also have to deal with the fledgling kingdoms of Hayasdan, and Pontus, and lets not forget the rebellious Bactrians. The Ptolomaics, are of even less worry. They are allied with Epiroes and The Greek Coallition, but they have little-to-no-influence. The last of thier overseas holdings ( in Asia minor mind you) is under threat from the Seluicids, and their only hopes for expansion, are north into Seluicid territory, and east...into our allies, the Carthaginians. If we are lucky the Ptolomaics will expand in both directions, and tire themselves, the Seluicids, and the Carthaginians out. Then, and only then will a war with Carthage be acceptable. Now, On the matter of Ariminium, I believe that we should make them directly under roman rule, lest the should rebel. That is all. "

Anrza sits again, feeling lucky.
