Gods And Heroes: Cliffs of Anxur: Occupied by the Enemy

The Romans conquered the Volscians and took control of the Cliffs of Anxur only after a long and bloody war, but they have maintained a fragile peace in the region for three generations now. The Volscians never fully assimilated into Roman culture, however, and the two peoples have never become true allies. Thus, when an advance troop of Greek invaders first arrived at Gaeta, the Volscian capital city, the Roman Senate voted to send an insultingly small shipment of supplies and a paltry number of reinforcements. Having been left more or less to fend for themselves, the Volscians' forces were easily routed, their farmland razed, and Gaeta occupied by the Greek conquerors. Those Volscians that survived have fled north and taken refuge in the small village of Sibilla. Thus, while the Volscians most certainly hate the Greeks, they have just as little reason to trust Rome. Only now, at this late hour when the entire region is under Greek control, has the Senate realized the value of having the Volscians as allies.
