HISPANIA


Welcome to the Roman province of Hispania!
Current Governor: Titus Antonius Brutus
Here you can send messages to the governor and he can interact with you!

To Titus Cassius Gerges,

Governor Gerges, it is with a heavy heart that I write that I moved my army from Emporiae. The settlement seemed to be held together by the force of the Roman presence. I ask that you raise troops to keep the settlement from revolting. If the settlement does revolt it would lead to an increased pressure on myself and the people of Rome, as well as interrupt our effort against the Carthaginians.

Signed,
Consul Lucius Tiberius Imperious.

A letter marked with the seal of the Valerii came in the days' correspondence:

From: Lucius Valerius

Dux Cassius, I received your letter and I can assure you that Hannibal is indeed dead or at the very least mortally wounded and unable to command. MY co-consul is senior to me although it seems that his time in the legions was a bland experience at best, therefore I left him to invade Hispania. The Praetor is what we might call a bit too enthusiastic. I have no doubt that if he does not get killed in the battlefield he will be turned to carrion in the senate. He must attack this fall or he will lose his credibility, although he is a veteran of Telamon and therefore he stands a chance against this Punic captain. MY co-consul has also indeed taken your forces and fashioned it into a consular army. However, he put some new laws into effect as he left so it should quell at least the moderates within the partisan tribes in Emporiae. During Trasimene I was indeed wounded but it's but a scratch and should not affect me in any way. Sincerely, Lucius Valerius.

A letter bearing the seal of the Valerii came in the day's correspondence with orders to give the letter to only Scaurus himself.

From: Lucius Valerius Poplicola

Dear Scaurus, By this time you may have heard of the new battle plan to combat the Punic forces in the South. The senate has given me permission to write you a letter to inform you and give orders to you to build a small flotilla to scout out the sea regions around the Baleares and Southern Spain. This information is in preparation for a direct assault on Cathargo Nova and the establishment of a supply base on the Baleares Islands. These actions in the opening stages will be undertaken by the Italian legions after Genoa is retaken. They will then be used to launch the direct attack on Cathargo Nova as the main effort in a two-pronged attack in which your forces will be taking part as support in the latter stage. I have not yet projected troop numbers as of yet but it would seem that I will be commanding the Roman legions while my Junior co-consul will command the allies which will sweep the Southern flank of the city clear of enemies. I hope this finds you and that you are in good health. Sincerely, Lucius Valerius.

Flavius has been sick for many days. The sickness is very bad; he is not able to move. Not at all.

Every day doctors try to find out what disease is on Flavius, and servants carry water to hopefully wear off the pain a bit.

One day, Flavius talked. He was very pale, and was sweating as he talked: I have to send a letter to Rome. I can't do my job like this.

And then he laid down again. Seemingly the effort to talk had consumed a lot of his strength.

[Maiar93]

One night, Flavius had greater pains than ever before. He had a dream of torture and pain, but suddenly they all faded. He saw a light; but could not move towards it as much as he'd wanted to. The light, instead, moved towards him and finally, when it had encovered him, Flavius heard a voice: Your time is not now.

Flavius woke up early in the morning, and felt a new life bumping inside him. He rose from the bed and looked from the window: streets of Cartago Nova were peaceful, the first merchants were moving to their place and children playing in the streets, and their parents either laughing or calling them.

Spurius!

A servant ran in seemingly prepared to see Flavius at even worse state. The servant gazed in amazement how Flavius stood, and slowly, bowed and said: What do you need, master?

How long have i been ill?

About six months, master.

Six months? Gods! I must let the senators know of my state. Flavius walked slowly, as his legs hadn't had any training for half a year, but soon he walked quite normally despite the dizzyness of his movements.

Flavius began to write his message:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Senators of Rome. I have been cured of my illness. I can run Hispania again. I will give you a report of the current state:

Cartago Nova is particularly happy about it's state. We make profit here, trade is going well and roads connect our provinces.

Emporium is quite well for now.

Gadir has been revolting, but there is no immediate danger for now. I must ask you permission to raise some men for the town's defence.


Yours sincerely; Flavius Julius Corvenus
