Siprus made the detailed comprehensive narration at the Terina powwow to the Theonia army: „ What...... made my impression profound was, the Theonia citizen soldier has very strong discipline and to order the obedience, is different from I have seen the armies of other allied countries, including us. It is said that the Theonia alliance made a military law specially, restrains the behavior of soldier, marches, camping...... and other aspects to be rigidly defined to the military training, and also has the judge advocate to supervise to carry out in the army, the soldiers must accept the penalty to the military offense, not obvious contradiction and resistance, but is ashamed...... 西普洛斯在特里纳议事会上对戴奥尼亚军队作了详细全面的评述:“……令我印象深刻的是,戴奥尼亚公民兵有着很强的纪律和对命令的服从,有别于我所见过的其他盟邦的军队,包括我们自己。据说,戴奥尼亚联盟专门制定了一部军法,来约束士兵的行为,并对军事训练、行军、宿营……等各方面都有严格的规定,并且在军队中还配有军法官来监督执行,士兵们对触犯军法要接受惩罚,并没有明显的抵触和反抗,而是感到羞愧…… From Theonia citizen soldier mouth I knew, they must train every five days one time when the slack farming season, this is one makes our Terina person surprised number of times, but they as if are glad to the training very much, did not complain that because of training to leave uncultivated the farmland......, therefore they can proficiently use the shield lance, bow and arrow and the javelin hand, is being marched can maintain the complete formation, builds the camp not only earnest, but also the division of labor is clear, the efficiency is very high, therefore very short time can construct one to make me guard against the stern camp surprisedly...... 从戴奥尼亚公民兵口中我得知,他们在农闲时每五天必须训练一次,这已经是一个令我们特里纳人吃惊的次数,而他们似乎很乐于训练,丝毫不埋怨因为训练而荒废农田……因此他们能熟练使用手中的盾矛、弓箭和标枪,在行军中能保持完整的队形,修筑营地不但认真,而且分工明确,效率很高,因此很短的时间就能建造出一个令我惊讶的防备森严的营地…… Moreover, Theonia army also one with other city-state obvious differences, after is their commanders and team of officers at all levels, is not the war mobilization, temporarily indicates and confirms, but has been holding the post of the duty in army, therefore they not only fight is experienced, but also is familiar with his each soldier of managing, when marches builds the battalion the command soldiers to be smooth, but also acts in harmony, among the upper and lower layers the responsibility is clear, when performance order rarely has to shift responsibility onto others with voluntarily its matter...... 另外,戴奥尼亚军队还有一个和其他城邦明显的不同,就是他们的指挥官、各级队官、并非战争动员后临时指认,而是一直就担任着军队中的职务,因此他们不但战斗经验丰富,而且熟悉其下辖的每一个士兵,因此行军筑营时指挥士兵非常顺畅,而且配合默契,上下级之间职责清晰,执行命令时很少有推诿和自行其事的…… What made my surprised was, these soldiers did not dread the fight, and longs for fighting. This reminded me of the Greek Sparta person. Although I have not seen the situation that they have fought, but can defeat a numerically superior enemy to defeat Crotone, proves the battle efficiency of Theonia army sufficiently. In brief, in my eyes the Theonia army seems like a manufacture fine and horrifying war weapon well-functioning!...... ” 更令我惊讶的是,这些士兵不畏惧战斗,而且渴望战斗。这让我想起了希腊本土的斯巴达人。虽然我还没有见过他们战斗的情形,但是能以少胜多击败克罗托内,足以证明戴奥尼亚军队的战斗力。总之,在我眼里戴奥尼亚军队就好像是一架制作精细、运转良好的可怕的战争武器！……” Listens to the Siprus words, the Terina powwow to make the decision: Without affecting self-interest, gives the Theonia biggest support in south intent Union as far as possible. 听完西普洛斯的话,特里纳议事会作出决定:在不影响自身利益的情况下,在南意同盟中尽量给予戴奥尼亚最大的支持。 After several days of negotiations, the peace talks agreement finally achieves: Locri compensates Caulonia, Terina, Scylletium and gold and silver of Crotone certain amount, both sides realize the truce...... 经过几天的谈判,和谈协议终于达成:洛克里赔偿考伦尼亚、特里纳、西里庭、克罗托内一定数额的金银,双方实现停战…… ........................ …………………… Regains the peace in south intent, the Theonia northeast Lucania area of early March erupted a war. 就在南意恢复和平之际,3月初的戴奥尼亚西北部的卢卡利亚地区爆发了一场大战。 The Potentia army sieges and attacks Grumentum, more than ten days not under. Pyxous Gennat commands the army to rush, fiercely attacks behind the Potentia army, but Cincinnag sees the reinforcements to rush in the top, leads to attack promptly, around Potentia encounters the converging attack, retreats quickly. Pyxousian and Grumentum person one close behind the other pursues, the Potentia person loses the camp, stampede. 波腾提亚的大军围困和攻打格鲁门图姆,十几天不下。皮科西斯的格纳奈特率军赶至,猛攻波腾提亚军队后方,而辛辛纳格在城头上见援军赶到,及时领军出击,波腾提亚遭到前后夹击,很快溃退。皮科西斯人与格鲁门图姆人衔尾直追,波腾提亚人丢失营地,狼狈逃窜。 Pyxous and Grumentum rush in the Potentia camp about the same time, saw grain that in the camp cattle in groups, pile in heaps, as well as Potentia along the way capture the women and quantity not poor slaves of many other tribes, where also has the thoughts to pursue the enemy, both sides start to rob the camp property and woman, and had the conflict. 皮科西斯与格鲁门图姆前后脚闯进波腾提亚营地,看到营地里成群的牛羊、成堆的粮食、以及波腾提亚沿途俘获的不少其他部落的女人、数量不菲的奴隶,哪里还有心思追击敌人,双方开始抢夺营地财物和女人,并且发生了冲突。 Pique Heath person thinks that was they defeated the Potentia army, these spoils of war should belong to them ; But the Grumentum person thinks these property majority are Potentia grabs subordination outside city in the clan and tribe of Grumentum obtained, should return Grumentum. 皮克西斯人认为是他们击败了波腾提亚军队,这些战利品应归他们所有;而格鲁门图姆人则认为这些财物大多数是波腾提亚劫掠城外的隶属于格鲁门图姆的部族所得,应该归还格鲁门图姆。 The started quarrel and conflict quickly turned into the fighting, particularly originally in the Lucania union the position in the Grumentum person who is a cut above others, these days not only many leaders were killed and received governing and ruling of Pyxousian, but also their despising and pulling strings of Pyxousian, making them feel very disappointed and shame, in addition follows the Cincinnag Pique Heath soldiers to abuse power in the Grumentum city, they in the hate that in the heart piles up, once is provoked, finally erupts. The Grumentum person gathers, attacks the Pique Heath person in camp crazily, both sides start the blood to spell, the scene loses control completely. 开始的争吵和冲突很快变成了械斗,尤其是原本在卢卡尼亚同盟中地位高人一等的格鲁门图姆人,这段时间不但诸多首领被杀、受到皮科西斯人的管治,而且皮科西斯人对他们的蔑视和指使,让他们倍感失落和羞辱,再加上跟随辛辛纳格的皮克西斯战士们在格鲁门图姆城内作威作福,他们在心中积压的怨恨一经撩拨,终于爆发出来。格鲁门图姆人纷纷聚拢来,疯狂的袭击营地里的皮克西斯人,双方开始血拼,场面完全失控。 Cincinnag is unable to prevent, finally under when wants to decide cruel-heartedly these capricious Grumentum people eliminate together, some soldiers who Potentia Captain Pohlert leads to rally return again, in the camp and Grumentum person in Pyxousian that slaughter is being attacked front and rear, finally the disastrous defeat, the Cincinnag fathers and sons bring the remnants, the Grumentum city does not dare to return, runs into the mountain ridge directly, finally returns to Pyxous after the turnover. 辛辛纳格根本无法阻止,终于要下定狠心将这些反复无常的格鲁门图姆人一起消灭时,波腾提亚首领波勒特带领重整的部分战士再次杀回,正在营地里与格鲁门图姆人厮杀的皮科西斯人腹背受敌,最终惨败,辛辛纳格父子带着残兵,连格鲁门图姆城也不敢回,直接逃入山岭,最后几经周转才逃回皮科西斯。 Finally, the Potentia person seized Grumentum. 最终,波腾提亚人占领了格鲁门图姆。 ........................ …………………… Meanwhile, Taranto after two months of besieging and struggle, captured the Taranto east side and frequency finally near Adriatic Sea small town Brindisi, this is since Taranto has constructed the city a big breakthrough of territory outward expansion. 与此同时,塔兰图姆经过两个月的围攻和苦战,终于夺取了塔兰图姆东面、频临亚得里亚海的小城布林迪西,这是自塔兰图姆建城以来领地向外扩张的一次大突破。 The people will praise general Diaomilas and Archytas that gives to lead. Chitta actually really happy, these receives the vigorously support of city-state to the attack of Messapians time, although realizes the original plan that the powwow discussed that made a connection with Taranto and Adriatic Sea land path, and severed the relation of Messapians and north, its blockade in peninsula, the price of but paying is also very high, the casualties of Taranto citizen soldier reach as high as 4000 people. 民众将赞誉献给领军的将领戴奥密拉斯和阿契塔。阿奇塔却实在高兴不起来,这一次对梅萨皮人的进攻可是受到城邦的倾力支持,虽然实现了议事会商议的最初计划,打通了塔兰图姆与亚得里亚海的陆上通路,并且切断了梅萨皮人与北面的联系,将其封锁在半岛内,但付出的代价也很高昂,塔兰图姆公民兵的伤亡高达4000人。 Messapians aggressive becomes famous in south Italy. Greece several hundred years ago colonizes the time greatly, south Italy established many Greek city-state, may in this „foot heel” in the peninsula, always only has Taranto one. When other colonizing city-state is attacking and assimilating nearby indigenous, when expands own territory, the position advantageous Taranto person is actually sighing woefully own misfortune, their east neighbor Messapians not only aggressive, large number, but also Messapians is not totally the barbaric aborigines, according to them, they from northern Greece close to Adriatic Sea Illyrians, have with the Greeks similar cultural tradition( Greeks have never acknowledged them, still regarded as barbarian them), causes for several hundred years Taranto unable to the inland to push onward. Especially dozens years ago, Taranto supports mother-state Sparta in Peloponnesian War, caused hostility of Athens, therefore Athens resists on support Messapians and Taranto, hence the attack of Messapians to Taranto starts to increase, makes the people by its evil. 梅萨皮人的凶悍在南部意大利可是出名的。在几百年前希腊大殖民时代,南部意大利建立了不少希腊城邦,可在这个“脚后跟”的半岛上,始终只有塔兰图姆一个。当别的殖民城邦都在打击和同化附近的土著,扩张自己的领土时,位置得天独厚的塔兰图姆人却在哀叹自己的不幸,他们东面的邻居梅萨皮人不但凶悍,人数众多,而且梅萨皮人并非完全野蛮的土著人,据他们自己宣称,他们是来自希腊北部靠近亚得里亚海的伊利里亚人,有着和希腊人相似的文化传统(希腊人从未承认过他们,仍把他们视为野蛮人),使得几百年来塔兰图姆都无法向内陆挺进。尤其是在几十年前,塔兰图姆在伯罗奔尼撒战争中支持母邦斯巴达,引起了雅典的敌视,于是雅典就扶持梅萨皮人与塔兰图姆对抗,至此梅萨皮人对塔兰图姆的侵袭开始增多,令民众饱受其害。 If perhaps this time by the stimulation of Theonia swift and violent rise, Council of Taranto could not have been decided to attack Messapians, but Archytas knows city-state, although gains the victory temporarily, Messapians will not give up, will perhaps also continue to be very long with their wars. 这一次如果不是受戴奥尼亚迅猛崛起的刺激,塔兰图姆元老院恐怕还下不了决心进攻梅萨皮人,但阿契塔知道城邦虽然暂时取得胜利,梅萨皮人绝不会善罢甘休,与他们的战争恐怕还将持续很久。 Outside the city wailing and crow self-satisfied ferocity of pecking of food corpse wounded soldier called to interwine, making the will of the people tremble...... 城外伤兵的哀嚎与啄食尸体的乌鸦得意的狞叫交织在一起,令人心颤…… Archytas stands in the Brind low city wall, will be startled however looks is dyed scarlet such as the western horizon of blood by the setting sun, in the heart fills to future worry...... 阿契塔站在布林德西低矮的城墙上,怔然望着被夕阳染得猩红如血的西部天边,心中充满对未来的担忧…… ........................... ……………………… In April, the Syracuse army continues westbound, Ecuadoran law Kaess, Lyssy and other city-state Kaesong surrenders, maintain to Carthage loyal Sellin Starck are sieged only. 4月,锡拉库扎的大军继续西进,厄律克斯、哈吕西埃等城邦纷纷开城投降,唯一保持对迦太基忠诚的塞林斯塔则遭受围困。 By the middle ten days, the Dionysius army arrived in westernmost the Sicily island, faces directly in the island in Gulf the city, is Carthage in the important base in Sicily island- Tia. 到了中旬,狄奥尼修斯的军队抵达西西里岛最西端,直面海湾中的岛上之城、同时也是迦太基在西西里岛的重要基地-摩提亚。 Motia ruined the causeway that connects the land, prepares to guard depending on the sea. 莫提亚毁掉了连接陆地的堤道,准备凭海据守。 Dionysius director the army repairs the causeway. Meanwhile, he commands troops the nearby regions goes on a punitive expedition against. However, Sellin Starck repelled the attack of Syracuse, forcing Syracuse only to continue to siege it. 狄奥尼修斯指挥军队重修堤道。与此同时,他领兵对附近地区进行征伐。然而,塞林斯塔击退了锡拉库扎的进攻,逼迫锡拉库扎只能继续围困它。 In May, the causeway completes, Dionysius commands the army to return, prepares to attack Tia. 5月,堤道完成,狄奥尼修斯率军回返,准备进攻摩提亚。 At this time, Carthage also prepares to dispatch troops to rescue this marine city in imminent danger. They first adopt the plan of attacking the enemy's rear in order to compel him to give up his own attack, sending the warship to go Syracusae, goes into the port, destroyed the harbor ships, attempts to direct Dionysius to go back to help, but Dionysius remains unmoved. 此时,迦太基也准备派兵去解救这座岌岌可危的海上城市。他们先采取围魏救赵之策,派战船前去叙拉古,闯入大港,毁坏了港口船只,企图引狄奥尼修斯回援,但狄奥尼修斯不为所动。 Carthage Great general Mirko has to lead the army to rescue Motia directly, large quantities of Carthage warships bypass the Palermo cape, threatens to sail to Gulf, attempts to destroy to stay the Syracuse warship on beach. 迦太基大将希米尔科只好率大军直接救援莫提亚,大批迦太基战船绕过帕勒莫海角,气势汹汹驶进海湾,企图摧毁停留在海滩上的锡拉库扎战船。 Dionysius had waited there for some time, he arrangement on the beach of this ring-like peninsula dozens new-style weapons- crossbow artillery, orders, a racket the bowl mouth big circular stone flies to shoot, pounds to the Carthage warship in Gulf...... 狄奥尼修斯早已等候多时,他在这环形半岛的海滩上布置下了几十架新式武器-弩炮,一声令下,一拍拍碗口大的圆形石头飞射而出,砸向海湾中的迦太基战船…… ........................ …………………… Davos is looking at carefully the silver-white coin in hand carefully: It has four grams, extremely near standard circular, to must at the same time thickly the Hades head picture of long hair, next carves „the Theonia alliance” the letter, the other aspect for the poplar of luxuriant growth of leaves and branches( the Hades Saint tree), next carves „the 95 Olympic Games third years” the letter. Center both sides image position, the portray is slight, concave-convex obvious, the letter is clear. 戴弗斯仔细端详着手中的银白色硬币:它有四克重,极近标准的圆形,一面为浓须长发的哈迪斯头像,下刻“戴奥尼亚联盟”的字母,另一面为枝繁叶茂的白杨树(冥王的圣树),下刻“95届奥林匹亚运动会第三年”的字母。两面的图像位置正中,刻画细微,凹凸明显,字母清晰。 Davos tosses the coin, catches, hefted hefting in the hand, asked: „Argentiferous how many?” 戴弗斯将硬币抛起,又接住,在手中掂了掂,问道:“含银多少？” Tritodemos goes forward saying: „According to your proposition, and through council «System Coin Bill», a purity of drachma silver coin we manufacture is over 95%, with Athens „ owl” purity quite( i.e. the entire Greek well-known work Lyon silver coin), is only- ” Tritodemos anxious saying: „We may not have the Athens big silver ore, the income of state treasury is mainly the trade and tax revenue obtained, the release such high-purity silver coin, will have a big loss.” 特里托德摩斯上前说道:“按照你的提议,并通过元老院的《制币法案》,我们制作的一个德拉克马银币的纯度为百分之九十五以上,跟雅典的“猫头鹰”纯度相当(即全希腊闻名的劳里昂银币),只是-”特里托德摩斯忧虑的说道:“我们可没有雅典的大银矿,国库的收益主要都是贸易和税收所得,发行这么高纯度的银币,会有不小的损失。” Davos nods, patient explanation: „We will truly suffer a loss, but I have explained when the council conference was very clear, now Theonia each month public revenues about 50 Talent, according to the analysis of Marigi, when we contact after the other allied countries of south intent Union is closer, this digit will also increase......, therefore, this loses us to withstand. Let alone each city and each market have the market management place, can quite accurate determination each city trade silver coin purity, the bank conduct the remittance, the procedural fee that in addition charges additionally, can the part make up for the alliance losses that because the coined money causes......” 戴弗斯点点头,耐心的解释道:“我们确实会吃些亏,但是我在元老院会议时已经解释的很清楚了,现在戴奥尼亚每月的国库收入将近50塔连特,据马里吉的分析,等我们与南意同盟的其他盟邦联系更加紧密后,这个数字还会增加……因此,这点损失我们能够承受。更何况咱们每一个城市、每一个市场都有市场管理处,可以比较准确的测定各个城市贸易的银币纯度,还有银行进行汇兑,加上额外收取的手续费用,可以部分弥补联盟因为铸币所造成的损失……”
