Description
Paeninsula Italica aims to portray Italy in the late 300s BCE– an era that is relatively neglected by other modders. Scripts will portray several historical events such as Pyrrhus's invasion of southern Italy.

Background:
For over a hundred years since the founding of the Republic, Rome remained a small, almost provincial town, with only two notable events to its name: the successful taking in 396 BCE of Veii– a major Etruscan city, and its own sacking by Gauls just a few years later. In the last half or quarter of the 300s BCE, Rome had grown considerably in power, due to the same gaul invasion, which had damaged its local enemies as well, and the city of Rome was given the leadership of the Latin League. Rome then dissolved the Latin League in 338 BCE, and took-up a strong leadership position among the latin states. To the south-east were the great numbers of hardy Samnite warriors. In the north are still eleven of the old twelve powerful etruscan strongholds. Even further to the north are teeming hordes of celts, who have just 50 years before the start of mod timeframe invaded central Italy. And to the south, were the Greeks. The mod starts with the arrival on Italy's southern shores of Alexander of Epirus– the uncle of Alexander the Great, who, called-in to help by the Italiotae League, cultivated ambitions for the whole peninsula. Under certain conditions, further scripts will allow the attival of Pyrrhus– the king of Epirus.
