Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Pleka, who returned from the port court, seems to have some problems. If he is in accordance with the usual habits, he will definitely stop at the port market, because the market at dusk is always filled with a carnival atmosphere, acrobatics, Dance, juggling, burlesque... Various entertainment programs attract visitors to watch, while the small vendors are adorned with a variety of exquisite small handicrafts, or a variety of scented foods, sipping each other to attract customers. ... The port market from dusk to evening is the world of street performers and small vendors. It is also a good place for the Turui people to stroll after dinner.

In the past, Pleka will stop here, listen to the singer of the bard, taste the sea fish fried with olives, and buy a vanilla porridge with mint or thyme flavor... but today, His footsteps kept going, and he finally squeezed out the market.

In front of him is a magnificent temple complex, from the original Temple of Hera, to the Temple of Hercules, the Temple of Apollo, and even the goddess of the snow-capped mountains of Amala, Lucania. Protecting the **** Asinu... This area is called “the land of the gods” by the Turifs. Even during the day, the temple is full of fire and many believers (of course it is impossible to compare with the Temple of Hades). At dusk, the believers mostly dispersed, and they re-emerged the hustle and bustle of the temple.

The singers of the gods in the hall sang from the thick stone walls and the towering columns, and reverberated around Pleka's ears, making his mood slightly calmer, but he did not slow down. It was only after passing through the Temple of Hera that he stopped because he saw the pure white carriage and the heavily guarded court guards parked in front of the temple. He knew that this was the Princess of Dionia and Hera. Temple main sacrifice - love Grace is about to go home.

In order to show respect, he stayed in the same place, and many people also treated him like this. The beautiful and kind Wang Hao smiled and waved at them, then got on the train and left.

Going north again, you enter the outer city of Turui. The foreign merchants who once came to Turui to say business said: "The inner and outer urban areas of Turui are like nobles and civilians. One reflects elegance and order, and the other shows exuberance and vitality. The two are so harmonious, there is no conflict or contradiction..."

What the foreign businessman did not understand was that the formation of the inner and outer city of Turie was not caused by the difference in status, but because of the different time of the people from inside and outside the city to join the kingdom.

The residents of the inner city area joined the Dionya Union before the establishment of the kingdom. The residents of the outer city were mainly joined after the establishment of the kingdom. It is precisely because the inner city residents joined during the alliance, they have more opportunities to participate in the governance. Alliances, gaining military exploits, and winning rewards, so most of the citizens in the inner city are not the veterans, the bureaucrats of the kingdom, or the army officers. Of course, they have also made great sacrifices for the survival and development of Dionia. 6 inner city citizens are killed or disabled.

There are also many veterans among the citizens of the outer city. Most of them are joined after the establishment of the kingdom. They come from the southern part of Greece, the eastern part of Sicily, and the Apulian area. There are also many who have become the senior bureaucrats of the kingdom through their own struggles. One of the citizens of senior officers, Pleika is one of them. This makes many citizens, reserve citizens and free people who have just settled in the outer city not to marry those big people, but hope to become them through their own efforts.

In fact, the outer city is not chaotic, with the constraints of the laws of Dionia and the strict management of the inspection department. People who want to develop in the kingdom generally do not violate the law and create obstacles to their own future. The order is better than many Greek city-states. It is just that there are too many residents in the outer city. The members are complicated. Apart from the citizens of the kingdom, the free people, the Greeks from other city-states, and other races from various places, it is difficult to manage. It is difficult to avoid some contradictions and conflicts. This is also a place where the judges of Turiyi have a headache. The affairs are too complicated and trivial.

If in the usual time, Pleka walks on the streets of the outer city, he likes to observe the people who are chatting on both sides of the road, to determine which are the citizens of Dionia and which are the foreigners, what occupations they are engaged in, where they come from, and their personality characteristics. How... This may be due to the professional illness of the judge.

In the long-term observation, he has already summed up some experience of literacy, but when the people of the Republic of Denia are together with the Gentiles, they can be discerned at a glance without thinking.

Because the Diaonia citizens are strong and strong, they walk because of the meat, and they have been training for many years. They are always dressed neatly and wear leather sandals on their feet. On the one hand, they obeyed the doctor's warnings to prevent unnecessary injuries and colds (many Greek city-states are barefooted); on the other hand, they can wear various medals on the Boltons they wear, causing them to cause An important capital that others respect and show off. In addition, they speak loudly, laughter and optimism, and there seems to be no difficulty to stump them. This may be the citizenship of a big country. Of course, their integration of the Greek language of many ethnic cultures in the country also makes it difficult for other Greek city-states to understand...

The home of Pleka is next to the Arena of Persephone, and it is almost March. The rugby competitions in the kingdom cities have already begun. The festival of fans is coming, but people living near the arena will inevitably be noisy during the day. The harassment, so the residential area near the arena is not favored, the price is very low, but for the first time to become a Diaonian citizen, he has no more choices.

When he got to his home, he had to stop again and again and pay tribute to the neighbors who greeted him. Until then, he left the troubles in his heart and tasted the respect that the neighbors gave him: Yes, although his origin was very low, he was a slave, but he struggled from the bottom through his own efforts. As a trainee judge in the kingdom, in the Kingdom of the Kingdom of Denia, the rule of law, the judge is undoubtedly one of the kingdoms of the kingdom respected by the ordinary people.

As he passed through the alleys, he heard several neighbors who were incorporated into the Legion Reserve team talking about "the army is about to attack the Latins in the north", and it has accelerated the pace of returning home.

"You are back!" The wife greeted her and took over the gift of Pleka.

Pleka "hmm", went into the hospital.

"Master!" One man, one woman and two slaves greeted him with respect.

Pleka nodded solemnly and went to the main house. The reason why he lived in a place that didn't have a two-storey building was because he didn't have enough money when he got married. Later, he managed to save some money and prepared to rebuild it. He also met his wife who was pregnant. I bought a female slave for care, and then bought a male slave at the beginning of last year. I wanted to let him take care of his own land. I didn’t expect the drought to be delayed for half a year, and it was almost useless.

"What about children?" Pleka asked as he walked.

"Amyra hugged him out for an afternoon. When he came back, he was sleepy. He drank some rice porridge. Now he is sleeping." The wife said, and asked: "Oh, dinner has been made, now Is it hot?"

Pleka nodded.

His wife, Kuznia, was busy commanding the slave girl to bring the dinner to the table.

Pleka looked down and saw that the dinner was pumpkin peas and oatmeal. He also smashed a large can, and suddenly his brow wrinkled. It’s not that he picks his mouth, but that this thing has been eaten for a month, it’s a bit tired.

Kusniya saw her husband a little dissatisfied and said: "There are some goat milk and cheese at home, or do I have to bring it up?"

Pleka knew that the goat's milk and cheese were kept for the children, and he waved his hand.

"Would you like to go to the market tomorrow to buy some wheat back, grind it into flour, and make bread?" Kusnia said again.

"I’m going to fight again right now. Now the price of wheat on the market is not cheap. There is no need to spend that money. There are so many beans and pumpkins in the cellar that have not been eaten. If you don’t hurry, you will be broken.” Saying, I sighed in my heart: the drought in the first half of the year almost consumed his savings. If it were not the vegetables harvested after replanting from his own field, I am afraid he had to go to the bank to borrow money and buy food. It’s already good to eat now...

Think of these ~www.readwn.com~ He picked up a spoonful of slimy porridge and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Tell you a good news. Today we have planted the wheat in the field!" Kusnia said loudly to make her husband happy.

As a Diaonian citizen, Pleika has five acres of land. Compared with many old citizens, he has too little land, but it is not an easy task to cook these acres of land. Apparently the male slave he bought played a big role, which strengthened his decision.

"Kuznia, I have something to tell you." Pleika looked up at his wife and solemnly said: "I decided to go to the Latin with the army of my Majesty!"

"You are just a reserve soldier. Even the Legion reserve team has not entered. Will they let you go?!" Kusnia thought her husband wanted to go to the battle. She didn't panic, but she was puzzled.

"I am not going to fight with the aliens, but my Majesty has called on us to voluntarily follow the army to Latin to participate in the management of the occupied areas. I decided to sign up."
