Hey y'all. So I got very bored the other day, and started fucking around with some maps. I ended up making a series of maps that follow in 5 year intervals from the year 100 B.C. to 1 A.D.

The timeline itself is, admittedly, not as detailed or well thought out as my others. But I think it's fun. Just some maps, and a story that hopefully the AH.com populace can get behind. Here goes nothing.

--------
The year is 100 B.C.

The Roman Republic had just defeated Numidia in the Jugarthine War, and is still reeling from their war with the Cimbri, but on the whole, the Republic looks to be on the rise. Recently acquiring all the lands ruled by Pergamon, Roman power and influence spans the Mediterranean, from Hispania to Asia.

But a rival is on the rise. The powerful and charismatic king of Pontus Mithradates IV Eupator is gaining ground, recently subjugating Colchis and being the first Greek power to conquer the Crimea, adding the Bosphoran Kingdom to his domains. The stage is set for conflict.

This is the beginning stasis:
