So I've been working on a new story recently, almost have the cover-art ready. Would anyone be interested in a story detailing what the Dazzlings might have been doing during the Second Punic War?
(For those of you not a boring history person like me, a short summary:)
The Second Punic War was the final major military contest between the ancient powers of Rome and Carthage, Carthage having been an ancient Phoenician empire based in modern day Libya that at the time controlled a large swath of the Mediterranean, and Rome an upcoming major power in modern day Italy. The first war ended in Carthaginian defeat, but pushed them to move to Iberia (modern Spain), and establish successful colonies there. Unfortunately a Greek ally of Rome, Saguntum, was based in northern Iberia, and using this as an excuse, the powerful Barcid family of Carthage initiated the second war.
You might know this war as the one Hannibal was in.
There was a third war, but after the second one Carthage was reduced to a Roman client state unable to raise its own armed forces. The third war was basically initiated to make Carthage a full-fledged Roman province.
So, what might the Dazzlings have been doing? Is this something anyone would be interested in reading?
I'd read it, yes.
Oh, that sounds rather interesting. I always love some good history porn.

Nah, I am just big on history stuff.

Shove it in my mouth.
