Antium was once a capital of another Italian tribes but has been taken over by the Romans. This city is not as big as Rome but still a town which is also rapidly growing.

Aeneas 18

Location: inside the port of Antium

Aeneas awoke and steped out from under the covers of his bed and looked out to the harbor of Antium He sighed thinking to himself 'The ships are almost done being built soon I can leave this palce to my next campain my army is well rested and the new recruits are being trained soon I will be ready to leave'.Aeneas strode over to is table and laid down a piece of paper and picked up a writing queil and began to wright.To the council of Rome From your loyal general Aenas18:as you know I served Rome well in the taking of the harbor town of Antium I lost many of my men but they have now been replaced by the new recruits who I am currently whipping into shape I also am building ships and repairing some of the seige equipment we lost.But it has come to my attention that a greecen town has insulted Rome the town of Tarentum insulted are ambassadors and through mud on therre togas and called them dresses I have heard this insulte has been met with a declaration of war My army is ready to head this declaration we head to Tarentum within the month and we will crush those who had the nerve to inssult Rome.
Your loyal general Aeneas18.

Suddenly, the ships in the Antium harbor exploded and were set ablaize, their hulls burning with the devilish concoction known as Greek Fire and their sails smoldering from arcane balls of flame sent town upon them by a pirate ship at the mouth of the harbor, the flag flown being a black one with white greek markings.

From aboard the armed merchant ship, Princess Ayzebel looked on and laughed as her crew loaded their catapault with another urn of Greek fire and let fly.

"Take that you upstart dogs! Antium was a fine port until you took it!" She declared as she let fly with another ball of flame courtesy of her sorcery.

Ayzebel and her crew were more than a little cheesed at this recent Roman attack, primarily because they had cargo waiting for them in port. A Sammite merchant told Ayzebel that there was a sale on good Olives in Antium due to a good harvest.

Now the Romans had probably gobbled them all down when they took the city. That was money lost and quite the annoyance to the Princess. And the sight of Roman ships was more than a little concerning. If the Romans planned to press out into the sea, a sea that was the livelyhood of many Punic sailors, it would spell trouble for all free merchants on the sea. The Romans needed to be kept landlocked.

And so, in a blistering attack, the Roman Triremes were savaged and destroyed by unquenchible fire, cramping the naval aspirations of the Romans for months, if not years.

Ayzebel, satisfed that her work was done, gave the order to put back out to sea. Her men took to the oars and with magic she filled the sails, reaching a speed that even the best Roman Warship could never hope to catch.

"So long, Roman Dogs!" she laughed as Antium faded behind her. "Enjoy your new boatless navy!"
