Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Tapirus coughed twice and said: "I have long heard that Rome is a powerful city with a long history and unique culture. Today, I saw with my own eyes that the city of the Seven Hills is as unique and magical as the rumors!"

After listening to the praise of Tapirus, Minusius smiled sincerely: "We are no stranger to Rome than to Dionya. I heard that you have only built the country for more than ten years, and you have defeated the enemies around you again and again. It became the most powerful kingdom in southern Italy, and it was really blessed by Mars!"

"Mars?"

"Oh, Mars is the **** of war of our Romans!"

"No, we can have today, and we are blessed by the great Greek god, Hades, because our king is his descendant!" Tapirus said devoutly. His piety is from the heart, because he is the freedom that was announced by King Davers in front of the Temple of Hades, in the carol of Hades. Hades's blessing of slaves is well known in the Kingdom of Dionia, and the people of Dionia, born out of slaves and slaves, are fully respected by this Pluto.

Minusius smiled a little and pointed his finger at the front: "The hill in front is Mount Esquiri, the first Sabin who became a Roman citizen lived on it..."

Minusius introduced and led them to the front of Esquiri, and they saw an arch across the road.

"This is -?!" Officials from the military department pointed at it with some excitement.

"This is the Arc de Triomphe!" Minusius also said with some excitement: "All the generals who won the major war victory for Rome, Rome will hold a triumphal for him, let him drive a four-horse chariot, lead the army, enter The city of Rome, through the Arc de Triomphe, to the square, accepting the cheers of the Roman people and the praise of the Senate, this is the greatest glory that every Roman citizen desires!” Minusius looked up to the Arc de Triomphe and looked at her face.

The officials of the Department of Military Affairs of the Department of Denia and the other entourages of the envoys looked at each other and could not tell the surprise: Dionya and Rome have many similarities in the military system, and look at this marble. The arched arches are old and worn, and they are very worn. At least for decades, who is this one?

Minusius led the complicated Dionya messenger group to the left and passed through the Arc de Triomphe. It was not long before there was a square in front.

Tapirus's brow wrinkled again: the square looks like a small area, but there are many houses around the square, and some even protrude into the square, so it does not show the style of the square.

Since entering the Roman city, Tapirus has felt that the Romans have mixed public facilities with private residences, and the square that represents the heart of the city cannot be avoided, making him feel a bit unacceptable.

Minusius apparently also saw the unpleasant look on Taprius's face. He wanted to say that he didn't want to be underestimated by the Dionians. He said loudly: "This square is the old square, about 150 now. In the past, it is mainly used for leisure and gatherings. There is also a larger square in Rome. On the west side of the square, it can accommodate 100,000 people for recruiting troops and sometimes as a voting place for the citizens' assembly. Called Mars Square!"

Mars Square? ! When he heard the name, Tapirus remembered that the young man had said before, "Mars is the **** of war of the Romans." This name is similar to the Victory Square in Turui, and it can be seen that the Romans Military admiration.

Minusius took the lead and walked straight through the square. From time to time, people greeted him, and also cast a curious look at the people of Tapirus.

The Roman Senate is on the west side of the square and is a tall building resembling a temple.

Minusius asked them to wait a little under the steps of the Senate and then walked into the Senate.

The Roman Senate will not meet except for other conferences or celebrations of the gods. In general, the meeting will be held every morning at sunrise. As for the end, it is necessary to see how many things to discuss, but Generally, it will not exceed the sunset, but now it is already at dusk, and the veterans must have dispersed. However, since it is now a war period, the Senate has a rule: a military and political officer must be on duty at night to prevent emergencies from happening, so that they can prepare in advance.

Minusius walked into the duty room next to the venue and found that the remaining military and political officials were exactly what he knew, and shouted: "Paulus!"

Paulus Valerius Portistus was letting the slaves ignite the candles, and turned to look at them, and asked with amazement: "Minusius, how come you? What happened?"

Minusius, the chief of the city guard, came to the Senate at this time, certainly not to find him to chat.

"There is one important thing." Minusius did not talk nonsense. He said directly: "There was a messenger group from the Kingdom of Dionia who came to Rome and said that there was something important to discuss with the Senate."

"Diaonia?!" Paulus is not a civilian military officer. He knows a lot about Dionyna and immediately said: "This Greek kingdom in southern Italy sent messengers to Rome at this time. For what?"

Minusius no longer smiled at this time, and said with the same seriousness: "I tried to ask them about their intentions on the road, but every time they were avoided by the messenger, it is obvious that they are not the same. We build friendly relations!"

Paulus fell into meditation. After a while, he provoked an eyebrow and said uncertainly: "A few days ago, the Carthaginians reminded us that 'it is suspected that the Wolverine messenger went to Turui.' Will they... come for Wolsey?"

Minusius was shocked: "Diagna wants to protect Wolsey?!"

"We can't make a rash decision. Minusius, you should take them to live first. I will now inform Pantius and other veterans to discuss the countermeasures urgently. Dionya is not weaker than Jia. The country of Taiji, we must be careful!" Paulus said quietly.

.......................................

The Tapirus group was arranged to stay in a public hotel owned by the Senate, which is located near the Old Square and not far from the Senate.

The messenger members originally thought about carefully visiting the city in Rome after dinner, but Minusius warned them before leaving: it is best not to go out at night! Because during the war, a curfew was imposed in the city at night to prevent confusion. If it was caught by the Roman patrol, it would be difficult to misunderstand.

Tapirus felt the sudden sudden alert of the young man.

After dinner, Tapirus and some of the followers were on the roof of the hotel.

The night has already arrived in the city, but the hustle and bustle has not dissipated, the laughter of the Roman people, the crying of children, the fight between men, the whistle of the patrol, the roar of the dogs... even if it is here In the heart of the city of Rome, these sounds still come together from all directions...

This is really a messy but vibrant city. Tapirus thought silently in his heart.

"I am afraid there is Capitoli." Officials from the Ministry of Military Affairs looked at the west side of the Senate and whispered.

Under the cover of the night, you can only faintly see the outline of a hill in the distance.

Although Minusius did not talk about the hill, Tapirus knew that the mountain was important to Rome because it was regarded by the Roman people as the host of the gods, and the Jupiter, whom the Romans respected. The temple and other temples of the gods are mostly on the mountain, where the Roman acropolis is located, so the Romans will stick to Capitoli after the Celtic occupation of the Roman city, and they will stay for a few months until The arrival of victory can also be seen in the steepness of this mountain. I am afraid that this is the most concerned place of the Military Affairs Department. Is it possible for Dionia to fight with Rome?

Tapirus looked at the entourage and then turned his attention to the Senate in the night: no matter what, he had to complete his mission first.

....................................

The next morning ~www.readwn.com~ Tapirus was invited to the Roman Senate.

This is a circular venue. The dark red wooden chairs are like the seats in the arena. From front to back, rows and rows are closely arranged. They are all sitting in Roman robes wearing white robes. There are nearly 300 people in close proximity. These include two military and political officers (in these years, due to the increasingly intensified contradictions between Roman aristocrats and civilians, in order to protest the aristocratic monopoly of power, civilians refused to elect the consul at the citizen assembly, but around Rome The military situation is quite bad. In order to guarantee the security of Rome and the smooth implementation of internal affairs, the nobility and civilians have negotiated and have to agree to elect six military guards each year, referred to as military and political officials, three from nobles and three from civilians. In addition, four military and political officials also led the army to fight outside.

Half of these Roman vultures are white-haired old people, mostly from the patriarchs of the major clan of Rome. Of course, the other part is also a veteran of the nobles. They have previously held senior positions in Rome. Because of their achievements or achievements, they have been recommended and selected, and finally entered the Senate, and they entered the Senate, making them easier to serve as city-states. Senior official position.

However, none of the Roman veterans are under the age of 30, and none of them are from civilians. They are capable, or highly respected, or very rich, or extremely powerful. Now they are watching with prudence. The man in the center of the venue: the messenger of the Kingdom of Dionia - Tapirus.
