Brindisium

[Snoring Rock]

I beleive I will start my Aihrde campaing in Brindisium. I want to develop a feel for it and start building it and fleshing it in. Brindisium sounds Latin. I looked and there is a coastal city in Italy named Brindisi. It dates back to pre-Rome.

Brindisium is a city state, run by a Senate that is filled by members of the noble families. Sounds and looks like Rome to me. I will develop the military using the Roman style weapons and armor from C&C PHB. For the capitol city, I think I will use Streets of Silver (Parma). It is on the coast, has an arena, and everything is in Italian or Latin. It alos is set up with a Senate and noble ruling caste.

I have ideas for the navy as well; using Triremes.

Does anyone have other ideas for this? I cannot find a more Roman-esque city. I am too lazy and lack time to draw my own up. Growing up is hard.

If Eric Piper (Piperdog) ever shows up around these parts, I think he could give you a lot of ideas for Brindisium. I played in 2 or 3 or his adventures, and each one was set in Brindisium.

Streets of Silver is an excellent supplement to use.
