Forces of Beheader - one of Maneater's lieutenants - attack city of Roma after conquering most of Itavia.
Beheader, after landing on isle of Scilla, pushed north, easily conquering local polis and karthian trading posts. He even managed to breach Roma's walls by suprised.
The Capitoline Hill, however, resisted the assault as the defenders were warned by the sacred geese of one of their gods. The hill ended up being a place where defenders that survive the initial assault ultimately fled. After two days of fighting Beheader was finally poushed outside, but despite this the city was thoroughly plundered.
Few days later the Senat negotiated a surrender of the city, that was allowed to exist without further damage (or occupation) unless it provided enough tribute and soldiers.
