Greco-Roman War

After the roman occupation of Cumae, the rest of the Greek city states of Magna Graeca felt threathened by the roman expansion. Together with Alexander IV, who wanted to prove himself in battle, they organized a campaign against the romans. Near Taras, with a few thousand greek and macedonian veterans, Alexander began training a small army made up off freed roman slaves. After two months training, he marched northwest towards Campania.
==The Campaign==
Once Alexander reached Campania he surrounded a roman fort and forced it to surrender. This forced the Romans to act and they declared war against the Greeks. Aulus Calidus was sent south with a legion to meet Alexander in battle. At the same time Gracchus Julius Scipli and Lucius Galba began their march south as well. Aulus met up with Alexander first and he ensuing Battle of Campania ended in a victory for the Greeks.
The greeks continued their march north for several days, knowing that more legions were headed their way. Eventually they met up with Gracchus' legions near Marius Forest and triumphed over the romans once more. After this the army attempted to march across the Apennines but were caught by bad weather. At the same time, roman allies Mikhael Egorii and Dentatus Manius Curius ruptured the supply lines. The greek army began starving as it attempted to cross the mountains but eventually Alexander IV decided to turn around.
The greeks are currently marching back south.
