The Arch of Hadrian

[Paddy]

Our settlement near the Mount of Beauty is growing fine. The fish swim fast in the bay, fed by the waters of the great river.

Our people love to sit and watch the might of the seas as they wash our shores.

It is good that there is space to roam, to expand our very horizon's.

[Don K Hotay]

Gran' Roma lay at the the banks of the Tiber River. The people of Rome of layed roads to bring in crops from the plentiful grasslands nearby.

A great forest lay northwest of the settlement, where warriors have ventured to explore.

Barbarians have been met and defeated south of the city, and our warriors have gained much battle experience.

[Paddy]

And so we sent out a party to explore the north...



while back at home the people partied on

[Paddy]

An empty village has been dicovered....
Amazing timber work, but little else....


It over to the Romans.

[Don K Hotay]

Thousands of Romans left Rome recently because they grew tired of all the road building and science research and work in general. So east along the Tiber their travels began, and it seems they're headed for the beach....where they will become beach bums!!

Hopefully the men and women who have left will not be raped and slaughtered by barbarians...

[Paddy]

BeachBums... what a wonderful idea...


The great adventure to the north continues... hundreds of years have passed, and so little is known of what really lies near us.

Our inventors have been busy playing in the mud. They keep assuring us that they have got some fantastic new storage devices... we keep hoping they get some that do not collapse into muddy pubbles or break and shatter all over the floor... we live and wait...

[Don K Hotay]

Our warriors on the field have traversed much of the great forest northeast of Roma....or have they? It seems never ending. I mean, how friggin far do you have to walk into a forest before you finally begin walking out.

Warriors have also made contact with a friendly tribe who have shared their knowledge with us.

Beach bums to arrive at the beach within 50 years. Like true beach bums, they wandered aimlessly east along the tiber.

[Paddy]

And so our great adventurers have turned into a desert crossing...

And finally we are able to carry water from the river in these great new pots. They are also great for allowing plants to grow on shelves in our rooms.... amazing... and these guys get food and homes for the privilige of what..............

[Paddy]

reports of some sort of structures to our west... troops diverted to investigate

[Paddy]

and the march continued on and on and on...

[Paddy]

Treasure, a bloody great mountain of treasures...

and still we feel as if we are the only ones on this world...

[Don K Hotay]

The city of Veii has arisen, and the society which the beach bums so wanted to escape has once again established itself at the Tiber River Delta.

[Paddy]

poor beach bums.... responsibility follows everywhere...

bugger

[Paddy]

right back at you Don

[Paddy]

3150BC a border of another people group has been found...
yet nobody has been sighted yet... so we are not alone in this land...
