Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Later in the days of Turui, Gerney often could not sleep at night, often thinking: the tribes are busy grazing cattle and sheep and hunting beasts all day long, while the Diaonians have time and energy to carry out often. There is a planned and orderly military training. Even if the army of Samona, where he was, can truly compete with the Daonian Legion, it will certainly not be its opponent!

Later, he learned that there were as many as seven or eight military camps in the territory of Dionia, which made him one of the reasons why his attitude towards Dionia began to change.

The Samonet suddenly became a lot of silence, and at the same time, he was more hopeful about the upcoming city of Turui.

Going forward, the terrain is more open and flat, and houses and villages are gradually increasing.

Not far from the front, there is a plain road connecting the stone bridge across the Cosseney River. The bustling pedestrians come across the Cossene River and eventually gather on this main road to make the crowds become more crowded. huge.

In fact, the main target of this road is the brakes and kingdom slaves that transport stone and copper ore. In this lively September, for the safety of traffic, these are temporarily stopped, but from the Bruti area to the map. The Dioyan people who participated in the celebration by Lie increased the utilization rate of this road.

The roar of the carriage, the hum of the cattle and sheep, the voice of the pedestrians, the cry of the children... The flow of people on the avenue is a huge source of noise, and it is also the maker of garbage, the excrement of pedestrians and livestock, and the leftovers. The food residue is all over the place, the pedestrians are accidentally caught, and the air is filled with an unpleasant smell.

The Samonet and the Potentia, who had suffered a loss, spoiled it.

The young man explained this: "The roads in and around the town of Turai are cleaned by the various De Mo in the territory of Turai. Usually these roads are cleaned up by them, but the pedestrians are too busy during this time. There are more people, and the people of De Mo also want to watch the celebrations and competitions, so they can only do simple cleaning in the evening and early morning... After this busy time, the road will be clean."

“What is De Mo?” someone asked curiously.

“In short, De Mo is a small town formed by the merger of several villages. In Turui, there are now 68 Demu, and they are still increasing.”

The casual interpretation of the youth made the Samoney scream. In the mountains of Samona, it is difficult to see a village (that is, a tribal settlement) on a mountain road for half a day. In the central city of Dionia, there are hundreds of villages, which really shocks them: this should have How many people? !

The Samonets tried hard to think with their brains that were not very fascinating. In fact, after they passed Niutum, these Samonais, who used to graze in the mountains, began to feel a little uncomfortable. Because there are too many pedestrians along the way, I am afraid that they will exceed the population of Abenimum.

"Let's go from here!" At this moment, the young man shouted and led the Samonais to turn right to a branch.

"Gerney's leader, may Savonni God bless you (Savoney, the samurai worship of the **** of war), won the game!" Ginard saw the leader of the slave did not follow, had to wave to them Say goodbye.

"Ginette, thank you for your care along the way, welcome you to Abenimum!" Gailney also responded friendly, and this is exactly what Genat wants to hear, the adventurous The people of Potentia had long been playing the idea of ​​the neighbors. However, although the Samonais and the Potentia people did not engage in war, but they were unfamiliar, he did not dare to enter the Samonai mountain area to trade. Now there is Gael. Nie’s friendship, he has the confidence.

"Clotox, thank you very much for your selfless help! When I sell beef and sheep, I must invite you to drink at the Cristoya restaurant!" Ginette then expressed gratitude to the youth.

The young man smiled and refused: "Thank you for your invitation, but I will be busy with celebrations and competitions in the past few days. There is really no time."

After leaving Ginanet, the young men led the Samonais to the east along the north shore of the Cosseney River. The houses on both sides of the road gradually became dense, and the two or three-storey buildings were different from the usual Greek houses. They are all facing the road, so a tall building is next to each other and stands directly on the sidewalk. Although this branch is also wide, there are drains and sidewalks on both sides, not narrow, but the line of sight is blocked, still Give people a sense of oppression.

"How have you not yet to the city of Turui?!" Tadoni shouted with some irritability.

The young man said with a smile: "In fact, we have entered the city of Turui."

"I have already entered the city of Turui?!" Tadoni thought he was joking: "We didn't see the wall at all."

“Turey has only inner walls in the inner city, and no walls in other urban areas...” the young man explained.

It turns out that after the South Italian War, many free people and foreigners flocked to Turui every year to become citizens of the kingdom. The skyrocketing population led to the continuous expansion of the city of Turui.

"...the place we are now is already on the edge of the city of Turui, at least four miles from the inner city."

Four miles? ! All the Samonais took a sip of coolness: How big is this city!

Including Galney is also deeply shocked, although he spent six months in Turui eight years ago, but the city of Turui at that time is not as big as it is now, can only say that the development of Turui City is too fast!

"There is no city wall in the city of Turui. Isn't it afraid of the invasion of foreign enemies?!" The quarterback of the Samonet team who participated in the rugby match was asked by the protagonist, as the group of Samonais. The second warrior who had participated in the last war, he was awesome and somewhat unwilling to Dionia.

The young man glanced at him and said loudly: "The Dionysian Senate once raised similar questions for the king at the time, hoping to build the outer wall, but the king of Dafos said - "The youth is straight and straight:" Located in the center of the Kingdom of Dionia, Riy uses the mountains as a barrier, has a barrier to the sea, has a strong army defense, and has a strong fleet of guards. If this is the enemy's invasion into Turai, then Dionys. There is no need for the existence of the Asian kingdom!'"

In fact, there is another important reason why the city of Turui does not repair the outer wall. That is, the city of Turui is very large. Although the construction of the outer wall is a huge project, Turui is still expanding and waiting for several years. This outer wall may become an inner wall again... so it’s so exciting to use the national treasury, but in the end it won’t have much effect, and it’s better not to build it.

Of course, the Samonais did not know this. They became silent after listening to the youth.

The number of pedestrians on the branch is decreasing. Many pedestrians who came to Turui many times know that at this time, Turui’s food and shelter are very tight, and the more they go to the inner city, the higher the price, so they will choose to walk into this house, with The owner talked about renting, which is why the owner of the house built the house so high.

As for why you have to face the road, because although this is only a branch road, every day is also a person coming and going, noisy, back to the road, using small windows, thickening the wall can reduce noise, and let the residents do not have to see The irritating streetscape has a living environment that is barely able to pass.

Going a little further, such a house like a city wall standing on both sides of the road disappeared. After passing the roadside with two smiles, feet wearing flying boots, and Hermes stone statue in front of the finger, the front view Wide open, the eyes of the people are familiar with the traditional Greek house.

Without waiting for the inquiries, the youth explained on their own initiative: "When our Diaonians rebuilt the city of Turui, Daphus and the elders had imagined the future of the city of Turai, so A lot of public land was prepared around the city, not allocated to citizens, but used as an extension of the urban area in the future. From here, it was the area of ​​the city of Turai that was originally conceived. Oh, I just didn’t expect the expansion of the city of Turui. Such rapidness has been extended to the “place” of the citizens of Turui.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Agriculture has regulations that ‘not allowing cultivated land to be used for other purposes. 'The supervisory officer will also regularly check the quality of the newly built houses, and also limit the height. Otherwise, the citizens of the latter will not only have two or three-storey houses built on the roadside, but will be distributed throughout them. The five or six-storey buildings on the ground will then be rented out to the reserve citizens and free people to obtain high profits instead of farming. "The young man said here ~www.readwn.com~ there was a hint of disgust on his face.

In addition to marveling at the large population of Turai City, the Samonians have no more feelings. Instead, between these neatly arranged houses and criss-crossing streets, they sometimes see temples or altars mixed together.

From the mouths of the youth, they learned that these temples not only worship the gods of the Greeks, but also the temples that are dedicated to the gods of Asinu of Lucania, the goddess of the plateau, Amara, cloth Lutus, Mesapi, Petchi's racial protection god, Lekaon... The gods of the aliens are enshrined in a Greek-dominated city where the believers do their own thing without any conflict This makes the Samonet amazed.

At this time, the young man pointed to the front and said, "Look, that is the arena where you will play next."

A huge building stands beside the road a few hundred meters away. It is the Asinu-Amara Arena.

After the South Italian War, Dionia had all the land of Nanyi, more towns were merged into the kingdom, and the teams that naturally participated in the football and football finals also increased several times. The original two races of Turui The field was not enough, so three new arenas were built, and half of the cost was allocated to the state treasury, and half of it was donated by the rich people of the kingdom.
