Today we had another game of Midgard, again in the Second Punic War period. It was a surprisingly tight game! I am not going to tell you who won though! You will have to find out at this link
Enjoy! |

Rome has no honor. Never did. |

Rome has no honor. Never did. Maybe not 'Rome' but some Romans did… Pyrrhus of Epirus's own doctor offered to poison him for the Romans, but the Roman consuls, led by Gaius Fabricius, exposed the plot, sending a letter to Pyrrhus highlighting the treachery of his own people and the honour of his enemies, an act that solidified the Roman reputation for integrity. Pyrrhus rewarded the Romans by releasing prisoners and punished his physician, demonstrating a mutual, albeit complex, respect between the warring sides despite the treachery. |
