Conquest - Remmy Meggs - Bog

Six years have passed since Dante turned twelve. Now in full charge of most of Roma, people want to bring him down, with lies. The Carthaginians want all of Rome's trade routes to bring Rome to its knees before they take it over. At eighteen, Dante is still a little boy, even if his body is as muscular as the best gladiator and twice as deadly. War is on the horizon, but Rome does not have a fleet of warships to go against Carthage. From the outside it looks as if Rome is doomed, from the inside, the Consuls and Dante have other plans. This is the prelude to the Punic wars.
