Ardiaei

The Illyrian tribe of the Ardiaei have dedicated themselves to sea-born piracy of the Adriatic trade routes. As a result, they rule over a kingdom that is beginning to draw the ire of powerful local forces, such as Rome. As the 3rd century BC begins the Ardiaei have a fight ahead of them. They have strength and cunning that their neighbours lack; can they turn it to their advantage and bring first the Adriatic, and maybe the world, under their control?
