Consul Marcus Atilius Regulus and his legions, having pacified the Greeks of Campania and subdued the wild Lucanians, return home with glory. The Senate awards M. Atilius Regulus with a Triumph. His re-election as consul is all but guaranteed. A new legion is raised*, Legio IV Lucania, to secure this new conquest.
The Senate debates Romes next course of action. The Roman Republic is still surrounded by many enemies, including the Etruscans and Umbrii in the north, the Samnites and Greek city of Taras to the east, and the Brutii in the south. Several senators discuss the importance of controlling the seas since Italia is a peninsula. And we can surround our enemies if we can attack them by both land and sea, Senator Julia Antonia says. After a vote, the decision to expand Romes navy by building fleets in the Adriatic and Ionian seas passes. A written senatus consultum is delivered to the two consuls. Lucius Cornelius Scipio oversees the building of the fleet in the Adriatic, while Marcus Atilius Regulus supervises the construction of the fleet in the Ionian Sea.
Romes Moves
1. Build a fleet in the Adriatic Sea.
2. Build a fleet in the Ionian Sea.
*By raised I mean citizens purchasing military equipment, and training on the Field of Mars, so they are ready for military service when called. Rome doesnt have a professional/standing army yet.

Do you mean a non-aggression pact? Peace treaty can only be proposed between factions at war.
Edit: It costs 1 prestige to attempt negotiations with NPCs, just so you're aware.

@High Fist:
The Senate dispatches the ambassador Aemilia Cotta, cousin of the Praetor Gaius Aurelius Cotta, to the Republic of Carthage to meet with the shophet or senate there. Relations between Rome and Carthage have soured recently due to competing claims over the islands of Sicily, Corsica, and Sardinia as well as the struggle to control the trade lanes of the Western Mediterranean. It is time to reach a compromise.
When granted an audience, Aemilia presents a map proposing a division of Roman and Carthaginian spheres of influence: Rome will acknowledge all of Iberia and North Africa as belonging to Carthage in exchange for Carthages recognition of Romes territorial claims. And Rome will never send a fleet into the Sicilian Sea or Gulf of Sirte if Carthage agrees to never send a fleet into the Tyrrhenian, Ionian, or Adriatic seas.
This is proposed in conjunction with a non-aggression treaty. The Senate and People of Rome propose a peace that will last a generation, a period of twenty years.
Aemilia desperately hopes to achieve a diplomatic win here to help her beat Cornelia Metella, her arch-rival, in the election for Aedile.
OOC: Rome offers a non-aggression period of 20 turns to Carthage with conditions attached.
Greco-Levantine War Update
Spartan armies have proved their mettle in this war as they fight off two enemies and gain ground. Athens is losing its holdings and its colossal fleets fail to thwart the Spartan invasions.
Meanwhile, the Seleucid empire attempts to gain a foothold in the Peloponnese to aid its Athenian allies.

The Senate congratulates Consul Marcus Atilius Regulus for his efficient management of the workforce that has assembled this mighty fleet. The fleet immediately blockades the Greek city of Taras.
Consul Lucius Cornelius Scipio is chastised for his poor supervision and blamed for failing to prevent accidents such as the entire shipyard on the Adriatic burning down in a fire. Cornelius Scipio has the shipyard rebuilt and attempts to construct a fleet on the Adriatic again to save his political career.
Meanwhile the Senate debates foreign policy. No word from Carthage has arrived, so some senators argue for Sardinia or Sicily to be conquered so as to create a buffer in case Carthage turns hostile. Other senators urge for a declaration of war on Sparta in order to save Athens. A third faction of senators express concern over the unwashed barbarian horde of the Arverni heading east towards Italia.
After weeks of arguing, the Senate decides to continue negotiations with Carthage and to not intervene in Greece yet since Athens still has a fighting chance due to support from the Seleucid Empire. The third course of action is passed. Legio I Latium and Legio III Umbria, under the command of Consul Marcus Atilius Regulus, sail for Liguria. Once Liguria is conquered, new legions will advance west to secure the passes in the Alpine Mountains and keep the stinking Gauls out.
A spy, Lucius Silvius, sneaks ashore in the dead of night to ascertain the number of Ligurian warriors and what their chieftains battle plan is.
The Senate also sends the ambassador Cornelia Metella to Pergamon to secure an alliance with that Greek kingdom. She performed successful negotiations with the Boii and so the Senate hopes shell be able to persuade King Attalus the Good to become a Friend of Rome.
Romes Moves
1. Use an agent to spy in Liguria. From the Tyrrhenian Sea, Rome will conquer Liguria (the region that straddles the Tyrrhenian and Balearic seas) with the +1 bonus.
2. Rome will build a fleet in the Adriatic Sea.
Diplomacy: Rome spends 1 prestige to form an alliance with Pergamon.
In Winter of 257 BC Segovesos had returned to Boiodurum with most of his army to give his troups a rest and to see the first time his children. It was a time of peace, rest and privacy for him and Onomaris, after the western border at the Rhenos was reached and secured.
After Imbolg 256 BC Onomaris gathered a great army of all boian tribes in Boiohaemum, also warriors from the Volcae and Taunensii were mustered.
Onomaris hold a speech in front of the Assembly of the Freemen and Noblemen:
"Brethens,
After we conquered all land east of the Rhenos time has now come to reach the Danube! Let us declare war against the Vindelici to conquer their territory, rich of fertileland and iron!"
The freemen cheered and war was declared against the Vindelici and on the evening the great army , led by Segovesos, marched in thev moonlight like a gigantic lindwurm southwards.

Viceroy Eurydemos calls a meeting of the local shipbuilding lobby. "I agree my men were busy splish-sploshing....but I don't blame them! After all, they are seeing the sea for the first time! But what about your side of the building responsibility? Were your men busy splish-splashing too? WHY??? You live next to the sea, dammit!! Why do you have to have your indulgences...that too at our expense...."
As the audience members hang their heads in shame, one sturdily built man with an eye patch stands up and addresses the Viceroy. "Your Mightiness," he says in a gruff voice, "Alllow me to introduce meself. I am Captain Soreis, a known pirate of these parts in me younger days...but now living a retired life, as everyone (everyone nods) knows...I know these me hearties have not put in enough to complete yer fleet...but make me captain, err, incharge, and I promise ye that yer ships 'ill be delivered in time! Let yer lads enjoy on the beaches...leave this to us..err...me!!"
"So be it," says Eurydemos. "Take over. But do not dissapoint me!" The audience applauds, while Soreis adds only an "aargh!".
Move--Continue building the fleet.

It appears the citizens of occupied Thermon and Athens are unhappy with their new Spartan overlords, and it doesn't take much convincing for them to take up arms against their conquerors! They are joined by professional soldiers who insist they are "local mercenaries", but they speak with a suspiciously strong eastern accent. Some of the more learned locals swear they've heard bits of Aramaic in the "mercenaries" speech...
Whatever their origin, the oppressed Athenians don't ask too many questions as they receive weapons and basic training from these mysterious soldiers. They begin sabotaging Spartan supplies and ambushing their patrols with support from the mercenaries. The Spartans - now faced with armed insurrection in their newly-conquered territory - are forced to pull back to a more defensible position.
The regions of Thermon and Athens are no longer owned by Sparta! They revert to rebel control.

Viceroy Eurydemos calls a meeting of the local shipbuilding lobby. "I agree my men were busy splish-sploshing....but I don't blame them! After all, they are seeing the sea for the first time! But what about your side of the building responsibility? Were your men busy splish-splashing too? WHY??? You live next to the sea, dammit!! Why do you have to have your indulgences...that too at our expense...."
As the audience members hang their heads in shame, one sturdily built man with an eye patch stands up and addresses the Viceroy. "Your Mightiness," he says in a gruff voice, "Alllow me to introduce meself. I am Captain Soreis, a known pirate of these parts in me younger days...but now living a retired life, as everyone (everyone nods) knows...I know these me hearties have not put in enough to complete yer fleet...but make me captain, err, incharge, and I promise ye that yer ships 'ill be delivered in time! Let yer lads enjoy on the beaches...leave this to us..err...me!!"
"So be it," says Eurydemos. "Take over. But do not dissapoint me!" The audience applauds, while Soreis adds only an "aargh!".

In Winter of 257 BC Segovesos had returned to Boiodurum with most of his army to give his troups a rest and to see the first time his children. It was a time of peace, rest and privacy for him and Onomaris, after the western border at the Rhenos was reached and secured.
After Imbolg 256 BC Onomaris gathered a great army of all boian tribes in Boiohaemum, also warriors from the Volcae and Taunensii were mustered.
Onomaris hold a speech in front of the Assembly of the Freemen and Noblemen:
"Brethens,
After we conquered all land east of the Rhenos time has now come to reach the Danube! Let us declare war against the Vindelici to conquer their territory, rich of fertileland and iron!"
The freemen cheered and war was declared against the Vindelici and on the evening the great army , led by Segovesos, marched in thev moonlight like a gigantic lindwurm southwards.
It takes some time for the great army to make its way to the Vindelici territory, and when you arrive the enemy keeps eluding your grasp. No doubt they recognize they cannot defeat you in open battle, and so they have to resort to hit-and-run tactics against your larger force. [2] Region is not conquered, +1 for invading within 1 turn.

Consul Lucius Cornelius Scipio is chastised for his poor supervision and blamed for failing to prevent accidents such as the entire shipyard on the Adriatic burning down in a fire. Cornelius Scipio has the shipyard rebuilt and attempts to construct a fleet on the Adriatic again to save his political career.
Meanwhile the Senate debates foreign policy. No word from Carthage has arrived, so some senators argue for Sardinia or Sicily to be conquered so as to create a buffer in case Carthage turns hostile. Other senators urge for a declaration of war on Sparta in order to save Athens. A third faction of senators express concern over the unwashed barbarian horde of the Arverni heading east towards Italia.
After weeks of arguing, the Senate decides to continue negotiations with Carthage and to not intervene in Greece yet since Athens still has a fighting chance due to support from the Seleucid Empire. The third course of action is passed. Legio I Latium and Legio III Umbria, under the command of Consul Marcus Atilius Regulus, sail for Liguria. Once Liguria is conquered, new legions will advance west to secure the passes in the Alpine Mountains and keep the stinking Gauls out.
A spy, Lucius Silvius, sneaks ashore in the dead of night to ascertain the number of Ligurian warriors and what their chieftain’s battle plan is.
The Senate also sends the ambassador Cornelia Metella to Pergamon to secure an alliance with that Greek kingdom. She performed successful negotiations with the Boii and so the Senate hopes she’ll be able to persuade King Attalus the Good to become a Friend of Rome.
Rome’s Moves
1. Use an agent to spy in Liguria. From the Tyrrhenian Sea, Rome will conquer Liguria (the region that straddles the Tyrrhenian and Balearic seas) with the +1 bonus.
2. Rome will build a fleet in the Adriatic Sea.
Diplomacy: Rome spends 1 prestige to form an alliance with Pergamon.
