Syrakousai

No stranger to war, Syracuse has fiercely championed its independence throughout its long, bloody history. A string of tyrants dominate that history, defending its autonomy against fellow Greeks, Carthaginians and threats from within. In 272BC, the world is waking to the scent of imperialism, and Syracuse's prime position makes it an attractive prize for any power desiring total control of the Mediterranean. Yet the city is both rich and strong; it has always repelled invaders and could do so again. Now, Syracuse stands on a precipice: will it be consumed by the expansion of a burgeoning empire, or forge its own destiny?
