Three years after the end of the campaign in southern Italy, Rome is prospering. Her cities have seen the much needed improvements to their infrastructure aswell as their defences.
Consular Curius Dentatus, the general of the armies in south, never made it back to Rome. He passed away of illness before reaching home.
The Senate has been hard at work, voting on what to do with the situation in Sicily. With Messina revolting against the Carthaginians, Rome has to decide whether to wait for the inevitable response from the Carthaginians, which would bring their armies within Rome's borders and break our treaty or to take action and march to Sicily first.
