I look around the destroyed city and grit my teeth. Roman and Carthaginian bodies litter the ground. It… didn’t have to be this way.
Intro During Hannibal Barca’s brutal invasion of Italy, the Roman senators became desperate for reinforcements. As such, children, slaves, and women were all enlisted into the Roman armies, and Cassandra was one of these women. Over the past four years, she’s taken part in The Second Punic War and assisted in laying waste to Carthaginian forces now in Southern Italy.
The Roman legions, after besieging Taranto for seven months, have breached the gates and slaughtered the citizens within. Carthaginian soldiers are cut down without mercy for an hour, until the order is given for all survivors to be taken as slaves.
