270 B.C. -Ashoka On The Map
adding the Graeco-Bactrian Empire, the Mauryan Empire, Saba...
The year is 270 B.C.
The Diadochi Wars are over. Three main Empires remained. The Seleucid Empire, the Ptolemaic Empire and the antigonid Macedonia. Will it be possible to reunite Alexanders Empire for one of them?
Rome's subjugation of Italy is completed by the recapture of Rhegium (southern Italy) from the Mamertines and the defeat of the Brutians, the Lucanians, the Calabrians and the Samnites. Is Sicily next?
Carthage, already in control of Sardinia, southern Spain and Numidia, is ruled by an oligarchy of merchants under two Suffetes or chief magistrates. While Carthage's military commanders are strong, the state relies on mercenaries (including Spanish ones) for its soldiers. Will the current peace between Rome and Carthage last for long?
The Greek kingdom of Bactria (or Greco-Bactrian kingdom) began as an offshoot of the Seleucid empire. The sheer size of the eastern Seleucid domains must mean that the satraps governing the provinces had significant freedom from central control. You start as an ally to the seleucids. Will you claim for independance?
In 273 B.C. Ashoka the Great becomes king of the Mauryan Empire. The Mauryan Empire was a geographically extensive Iron Age historical power in ancient India, ruled by the Mauryan dynasty from 321 BC. Originating from the kingdom of Magadha in the Indo-Gangetic plains in the eastern side of the Indian subcontinent, the empire had its capital city at Pataliputra. The Empire was founded in 322 BC by Chandragupta Maurya, who had overthrown the Nanda Dynasty and rapidly expanded his power westwards across central and western India taking advantage of the disruptions of local powers in the wake of the withdrawal westward by Alexander the Great's Greek and Persian armies. By 320 BC the empire had fully occupied Northwestern India, defeating and conquering the satraps left by Alexander. Is Bactria their next goal?
The Kingdom of Pontus was is Hellenistic Kingdom on the southern coast of the Black Sea. It was founded by Mithridates I in 291 B.C. Despite being ruled by a dynasty which was a descendant of the Persian Achaemenid Empire it became hellenized due to the influence of the Greek cities on the Black Sea and its neighboring kingdoms. Can you keep pontus` autonomy?
The Sabaeans or Sabeans (Arabic: السبأيون as-Saba’iyūn) were an ancient people speaking an Old South Arabian language who lived in what is today Yemen, in the south west of the Arabian Peninsula. Some scholars suggest a link between the Sabaeans and the Biblical land of Sheba. During Sabaean rule, trade and agriculture flourished generating much wealth and prosperity. The Sabaean kingdom is located in what is now the Aseer region in southwestern Yemen, and its capital, Ma'rib, is located near what is now Yemen's modern capital, Sana'a. According to Arab tradition, the eldest son of Noah, Shem, founded the city of Ma'rib.
When the Achaemenid Empire conquered the Caucasus and Asia Minor in the 6th century BC, the territory of Ararat (Urartu) was reorganized into a satrapy called Armina (Harminuya in Elamite, Urashtu in Babylonian). The Satrapy was ruled by the Armenian Orontid Dynasty with limited to full independence under Orontes I. In 331 BC, after Battle of Gaugamela, Armenia's satrap Orontes III and the ruler of Lesser Armenia Mithridates recognized themselves independent, thus giving birth to Greater Armenia or Kingdom of Armenia and Lesser Armenia. Orontes III also defeated the Alexander the Great's commander Menon, who wanted to capture Sper's gold mines. The Diadochi never stopped thinking about Armenia as part of their territory. Will you be able to prove them wrong?
