Taras (Rise of the Republic)

Taras is powerful and glorious! Located on the coast of southern Italy, she is the most dominant and ‘civilised’ city in Magna Graecia. Taras has become powerful due to her exploitation of the region’s fertile soil, her strong naval traditions and its population, who are a rich cultural melting pot. Led by the enlightened Archytas – a gifted statesman and inventor – who the city’s occupants are proud to note is the basis for Plato’s concept of the philosopher-king. Tarantian ambitions are clear: control over the Italian Peninsula and the increased prosperity of its people. Surprisingly enough, the major impediment towards achieving these goals is Syracuse, another Greek city-state on the island of Sicily. The second obstacle appears to be the Samnites, a confederation of Italian tribes living in the mountains of central Italy. The Romans and Etruscans will no doubt be bothersome neighbours, but they are not yet powerful enough to seriously threaten the balance of power in the region.
