Beginning of the Punic Wars

In the 2nd iteration of Mvindicraft, under the leadership of the Emperor and Pontifex Maximus Dante,
the Roman Revivalist Kingdom declared war on the Republic of Carthage, with a
with a fleet assembled and setting sail for Sicily in the dead of night.

After a few skirmishes, they managed to kick the carthagininans off of Sicily
before setting sail for a lone Carthaginian outpost in North Africa. Taking it with ease, it caused Carthage, who were alarmed by the attack,
to mobilize its population to get ready for a long siege of their capital.

Dante, bringing with him siege equipment, made the preparations for a siege,
sending out scouting parties to scout the outskirts of the city to probe any possible counterattacks by the Carthaginian Cavalry.
Thus it began!
