Veneti Coast

Column 4 of 8 on the campaign map: Armorica and Aquitania, 56 BC

From the legate


56 BC. The Veneti rule the Atlantic trade from their headland towns and boast of their ships. They seized Roman envoys as hostages, an insult Caesar cannot leave unpunished. If this village falls, their ships will escape justice and our envoys will die.
