Nine years ago, Hansro led his punitive expeditions against the tribes west of the Rhine. Now the Emperor is on the scene, and his huge army is intent on crushing the Goths once and for all. As the campaign starts, Hamilcar III is surprised and ambushed in the Tutenberg forest. Instead of plunging his forces into despair as the Gauls had wanted, his death finally galvanizes the Carthaginian armies into brutal action. For many generations that followed, their treatment of the Goths would cow whole regions into submission.
It is 11 AD and Pax Carthaga means peace, but oh, what a bloody birth for peace.
