The Debt of Carthage

---

Our senators are agreed that the threat posed by Carthage, even now, is too great for Rome to contemplate - the Punics must submit to have their treasury made generous to Rome so they never again will domineer over the Internal Sea and wage war without our consent.

Our ambassadors are ready to depart and present the demands to the Carthaginians.

Roman Demands

---

The insidious encroachment of Roman power has reduced our once mighty empire to disgrace. Now, Roman ambassadors bring a new list of demands, stipulating that Carthage pay tribute as reparations for our wars to ensure we remain weak. Should give in to these demands and maintain our freedom? Such as it is...

Response from Carthage

---

Our ambassadors have returned from the Carthaginians, bearing news of their response to our demands.

The pitiable Punics, seeing the hopelessness of standing up to our might, have acquiesced to our demands and will pay tributes of silver to our treasury for the foreseeable future. These are understood to be payments for the damages incurred in the past, and will keep them weak.

Carthage Breaks Oaths

A [SCOPE.sChar('rm_4_punic_leader_scope').GetWomanMan] named [SCOPE.sChar('rm_4_punic_leader_scope').GetName] has stirred the Carthaginians into a frenzy of anger, taking leadership of the city.

Carthaginian Bondage

Submitting to Roman domination was a necessary evil forced upon us at the point of a sword.

The outrageous tributes and our unfair treatment by the eagle lovers is more than many Punics can bear. [SCOPE.sChar('rm_4_punic_leader_scope').GetName] has spearheaded a movement, securing support to end our subjection to Rome by war, if necessary.

Rome Responds

---

In classic Roman style, they have sent another ambassador to our great city with another list of demands from their haggard senators.

The clauses this time are nothing so palatable as yearly tribute, and amount to the total destruction of our city and the reduction of our people to Roman slaves.

There is no way we can accept such terms... is there?

Response from Carthage

The below description is one of several available for this event.

The ridiculous Carthaginians have decided to go to war, despite their pitifully reduced strength.

They should have considered the consequences of their actions long ago, when they first contested our expansion. Now they will suffer the horror and shame of total defeat.

Oh how different things could have been...

Punic Servants

With Carthage reduced to our tributary, moderate senators have begun to consider the usefulness of a Punic client state.

They are entrenched in the region, and their military and agricultural products are useful. There are nay-sayers who demand that Carthage be extirpated, et cetera, but it is worth considering. Perhaps Carthage would rather submit to our leadership than be utterly destroyed.

Romans Offer Friendship

---

We have received a puzzling offer from the Roman senate. Much to the surprise of the assembly it was not the usual invoice for talents of silver, but an offer.

It seems the Romans, after all these years of bloodshed, have softened, and wish to offer us the status of a friendly client state with de facto autonomy, though allied to Rome and directed by her foreign policy.

There are many who hate Rome in Carthage, but this may be the best possible outcome for us and Rome both.

Our ambassadors have returned from the Carthaginians, bearing news of their response to our offer.

The Conquest of Africa

---

Carthage has been reduced to a footnote of history, now we decide how to manage the rich and fertile holdings of Africa and treat the defeated Punic peoples.

Many argue the land should be used to provide for Rome's people, making the most of our new holdings and sending a message to our enemies, though others argue that Carthage's prior success shows the land's inherent suitability for great metropolitan centers.

Convincing the Hispanians

---

Hispania is a vast land, a patchwork of various tribes, alliances, and influences. The Carthaginians and Greeks have had their hands in Iberian pots for centuries, trading and fighting with one tribe or another.

If we are to replace Carthage as the leading force in Hispania, it might be wise to approach what tribes we can and win them over - and perhaps even encourage suspicion of Carthage.

Our envoys have returned from their travels across Hispania with news of their reception at each of the visited tribes.

They were generally well received, the deference offered clearly indicating the status of Rome is a quantity known and feared, if not respected, even in these far and backward places.

The senate pours over the dispatches, plotting schemes to ensnare the most useful Iberian allies.

The Punic Sphere

The tendrils of Punic power are long, but not ironclad. Their influence even in Africa is tenuous; many of their vassal cities and tribes maintain much autonomy and resent the dominance of Carthage.

If we can exploit the avarice and envy of some of these vassals, we may find they cause a great deal of trouble for the Carthaginians.
