224 BC
By the second year of the Romano-Punic War, the Mighty Carthaginian Navy reigns supreme over the Mediterranean and strikes where it pleases.
Off the coast of Corsica, 1 transport ship carrying 1 merchant is sunk.
With the sea secure, the Carthaginian Armada strikes at the heart of Roman power, the city of Rome itself!
Carthaginian quinqueremes charge into Rome's port (Ostia) and completely overwhelm it. With this bulkhead established, Carthaginian siege equipment is unloaded and then the walls of Rome itself are besieged. The City puts up some resistance but eventually the gates are battered down with battering rams.
The Great City of Rome has fallen!
Casualties:
Carthage: 3 quinqueremes, 2 battering rams
Rome: 8 infantry units defending Rome + 1 transport ship with 1 merchant onboard.
