Chapter 9: 20-10 BC
In 19 BC, the fleet that had been lost many years ago decided to return with some of the riches and natives to tell their story. Upon their arrival to Rome, they entertained Octavian and his court of the painted faces, blowdart guns that could shoot faster than arrows, and a number of strange and fabulous beasts.Octavian began organizing large expeditions to try and reconnect with the most far-flung corner of his domain. Alough most of the fleets did not make it back, the did colonize several island chains and the west coast of Africa.
During this time, Caeserion slowly puppetized Nubia. First he began attempting to limit ascess to the Nile river, an important water source and trade area for both Egypt and Nubia. Soon the Nubians were paying tribute to keep the river open and going. At the same time, Caeserion filled the Nubian royal court with pro-Egyptian advisors and ambassidors, hoping to gain influence. The countries on the east coast of the Red Sea in Arabia also felt Egypt's might: Caeserion once visited one of them and the local high priest declared him to be a devine being. The waters of the Red Sea became an Egyptian lake. The cult of Anubis also spread, reaching Hispania ands Parthia.
The Germanic Wars came to an end: the Boii were pushed back into Bohemia and forced to broker a harsh truce with the legions of Rome. Many of them were not happy with the davistation they had caused the outskirts of the Western Rome. Most of the Boii are forceibly relocated to a new and harsh to farm on land, competing wit the locals.
In Judea, an wealthy noble named Herod takes over the govenorship. He convinces the Senate to give him autonomy and also make Judea the equivilant of a client state. For this, the Jews call him "the Great" and nickname him the king. He sets himself to begin the construction of a new temple, to replace the one destroyed by Babylon in the last days of Isreal.
(Short, but covers a number of subjects. Happy Holloween. Next update will be on Anubis and religion.)
