Tower Pirus leads the envoy group member of accompanying to come ashore in Ostiadal. 塔皮鲁斯带着随行的使者团成员在奥斯提亚上岸。 Quick, he surprised notices, in this prosperous harbor appears many are not the Latin person of black becoming dark eye, but made, from the Theonia south Carthage merchant who he was familiar, they packed with ship cargo to approach shore here, was first unloaded cargo by the harbor personnel, and conducted the back the vehicle transport to east Rome, with this harbor from other city-state merchants, unexpectedly was quick, its process was systematic, obviously has operated was very long. 很快,他就惊奇的注意到,在这个繁荣的港口里出现最多的不是黑发黑眼的拉丁姆人,而是令他熟悉的、来自戴奥尼亚南面的迦太基商人,他们满载着一船船货物在这里靠岸,然后优先被港口人员卸货,并被驮车运向了东面的罗马,和这一港口来自其他的城邦商人相比,竟然是快捷许多,其过程井然有序,显然已经运作了很久。 In addition, saw the Theonia merchant in harbor area tower Pirus. This more than ten years, the increases and kingdoms of the rapid expansions and in various resources of expansion and territory of Kingdom of Theonia the construction of path and bridge improves the good communications that provides, the execution that measure that various that in addition the Department of Commerce promulgates are conducive to the business development, caused the prosperity of business, various cities emerged many merchants like mushrooms after a spring rainfall, attracted outside the merchants in nation to apply to join Theonia positively, this made the trail of Theonia merchant proliferate entire west Mediterranean. Naturally must be an exception under Sardinia by south Carthage close control, Corsica and Iberia and other areas. 此外,在港口区塔皮鲁斯还看到了戴奥尼亚的商人。这十多年来,戴奥尼亚王国的扩张、领地的急剧扩大、各种资源的增多、王国内道路、桥梁的建设完善所提供的交通便利,再加上商务部颁布的各种有利于商贸发展的措施的执行,导致了商贸的繁荣,各城市如雨后春笋般的涌现了很多的商人,也吸引了外邦的商人积极申请加入戴奥尼亚,这使得戴奥尼亚商人的足迹遍布整个西地中海。当然要除外被迦太基严密控制下的萨丁尼亚、科西嘉、伊比利亚南部等地区。 Several years of some Theonia merchants come Rome doing business early, they also become the Theonia intelligence service to understand an important source of information of Rome. With established compared with the Carthage merchant of close relations with Rome, they are unable to obtain many preferential benefits. 早几年就有一些戴奥尼亚商人来罗马经商,他们也成为戴奥尼亚情报部门了解罗马的一个重要的信息来源。只是和同罗马建立了紧密关系的迦太基商人相比,他们无法获得更多的优惠。 Rome and Theonia are somewhat similar, similarly is not a port city, is situated in a middle reaches river bank of river. But Rome is stated differently farther from the coast, enough more than 40 li (0.5 km), therefore ships , to swim against the stream, enters the Rome city becomes very difficult, therefore it needs the Ostiadal port to conduct the relay of cargo. 罗马与戴奥尼亚有些相似,同样都不是一个海港城市,都是坐落在一条大河的中游河畔。但不同的是罗马距离海岸更远,足足有40多里地,因此船只要想逆流而上、直入罗马城就变得非常困难,因此它需要奥斯提亚港来进行货物的中转。 Tower Pirus one group had Ostiadal, goes north along Tiber Nanan 1 st Road. 塔皮鲁斯一行人出了奥斯提亚,沿着台伯河南岸一路北上。 By around 3 : 00 pm, they saw stood erect in the front Rome city. 到下午3点多时,他们看到了矗立在前方的罗马城。 „...... Rome is one by the Latin person and Sabin person the city that 300 years ago forms together, it is said at that time here full was the shallow seas and tidelands and swamp, the peripheral many strong presences could not have a liking for this place, but this does not mean the Rome person can, calm and steady development silently, it was often invaded by the foreign enemy. “……罗马是一个由拉丁人和萨宾人在300年前共同组建的城市,据说那时这里满是滩涂和沼泽,周边的很多强大势力都看不上这块地方,但这并不意味着罗马人就能默默的、安稳的发展,它不时遭到外敌的侵略。 Itter Rougnat person had ruled it, the Gaul ruined its city, Volscians, Aequians and Sabin person, the Rome person same clan Latin union...... and other influences had even defeated it one after another, but the Rome person actually gradually grew strong in the unceasing setback and war, until today, it has become central Italy most powerful city-state...... ” 伊特鲁尼亚人曾经统治过它,高卢人毁掉了它的城市,沃尔西人、埃奎人、萨宾人、甚至罗马人同族的拉丁同盟……等势力都相继打败过它,但罗马人却在不断的挫折和战争中逐渐发展壮大,直到今天,它已经成为意大利中部最强大的城邦……” When tower Pirus hears these words from the King Davos mouth, he deeply felt that this Theonia ruler's respect to Rome, made him feel: The periphery has Rome of so many hostile forces also to grow to present this situation, the Rome person certainly is the tenacious and tenacious fierce race! 当塔皮鲁斯从戴弗斯国王口里听到这番话的时候,他深深感觉到了这位戴奥尼亚的统治者对罗马的尊重,同时也让他感受到:周边有如此多敌对势力的罗马还能成长到现在这个地步,罗马人一定是个坚韧而又顽强勇猛的种族！ Tower Pirus fills with the interest is observing more and more clear Rome city, while is seeking from the memory about its material. 塔皮鲁斯满怀兴趣的一边观察着越来越清晰的罗马城,一边从记忆中寻找着关于它的资料。 Rome is called the cities of seven mound, that is because in the city has seven hill, they centralized in the turning point of Tiber. Because such first , the series river bend of booklet to west causes to east to the west again in the spring and summer rain season, once has the flood, here is very easy to form the marsh land, therefore the initial Rome people live on these hill...... 罗马被称为七丘之城,那是因为城内有七座山丘,它们都集中在台伯河的拐弯处。由于这样一个先向西、再向东、又折向西的连环河湾导致在春夏季多雨季节一旦发洪水,这里就很容易形成洼地,所以最初的罗马人都住在这几座山丘之上…… But the Rome city that tower Pirus sees now is actually a new town, it is ten years ago after driving away the Gaul , the Rome person constructs on the ruins, it is said the Rome person only spent for a year to construct it, hasty can such time construct a big city?! 而塔皮鲁斯现在看到的这座罗马城却是一座新城,它是十年前赶走高卢人后罗马人在废墟上兴建的,据说罗马人只花了一年时间就将它建好,这么仓促的时间能建好一座大城吗？！ Finally the tower Pirus surprised discovery stands erect in his present Rome city wall completely not Siping eight like the Thurii inner city wall straight, the wall surface is smooth, but is curving . Moreover the brick bat and rock do not have the rule quite confusedly, joins together in together, therefore the wall surface is rough, slit is big, even outward knife edge. Naturally its city wall is high enough, from this can also judge that its wall is also thick enough, otherwise cannot support by such bad wall surface...... 结果塔皮鲁斯惊奇的发现矗立在他眼前的罗马城墙完全不像图里伊内城城墙那样四平八直,墙面光滑,而是弯弯曲曲,而且砖块、岩石没有规律、比较错乱的拼合在一起,因此墙面粗糙、缝隙较大,甚至向外支棱着。当然其城墙足够高,由此也可以判断其墙体也足够厚,否则以这样糟糕的墙面是支撑不住的…… Naturally this is only the personal view of tower Pirus, a more specialized person hidden in his envoy group, they, careful observation this city quietly,...... many aspects records the situation in Rome as well as neighboring region from the military, politics, business and society in detail, and compiles after the information, goes back to report to give King Davos. 当然这只是塔皮鲁斯的个人看法,更专业的人士就隐藏在他的使者团中,他们将悄悄的、仔细的观察这座城市,从军事、政治、商贸、社会……多个方面来详细记录罗马以及周边地区的情况,并且将情报汇总后,回去汇报给戴弗斯国王。 In fact, what tower Pirus does not know: Seven years ago, after Camillus expelled Celts, the Rome city is stretch of ruins. Can the Rome people on „migrate this already because of the curse of Spiritual God by unfortunately the city? Reconstruction new town on ruins?” The issue debates unceasingly, finally has to hold ecclesia the voting decision. 实际上,塔皮鲁斯不知道的是:七年前,在卡米卢斯赶走了凯尔特人之后,罗马城已经是一片废墟。罗马民众就“是否要迁移这个已经因神灵的诅咒而遭受不幸的城市？还是在废墟上重建新城？”的问题争论不休,最后不得不举行公民大会来投票决定。 When must start to vote immediately, became the hundred husbands of hero long to lead the standard bearer to arrive on in the beforehand fight the stage, suddenly shouted: „Stops, inserts the flag, this place is the best constructing city position!” 就在马上要开始投票的时候,一名在之前的战斗中成为英雄的百夫长带着掌旗官到了台上,突然大喊:“停下来,把旗子插起来,这个地点就是最好的建城位置！” His words have the support of many past ally immediately. Immediately, Camillus and several other senior statesmen of noble character and high prestige soon announced with the devout attitude: This is a god trillion! 他的话立刻得到了不少昔日战友的支持。随即,卡米卢斯和其他几个德高望重的元老很快用虔诚的态度宣布:这是一个神兆！ But the citizens have felt about the argument of this manager time in fact were sick, and under senior statesmen's guidance that hot and bothered, trusts in them, its mood changed rapidly, everyone sends out to cheer, the request reconstructs Rome here. 而公民们事实上已经对这场长时间的争论感到了厌烦,并且焦虑不安,在他们信任的元老们的引导下,其情绪迅速发生了转变,每一个人都发出欢呼,要求在这里重建罗马。 For does not consume the fervor that the people were stirred up with great difficulty, causes to present the accident, constructs the city work quickly to be launched, because basically does not have the normal plan and construction area separates, constructs the process to have one's wish or be for personal convenience completely on the line, therefore relative bad that the city wall, the private construction constructs, but guaranteed the speed, within one year the Rome city reconstructs, it can be imagined its effect how. 为了不耗费民众好不容易被煽动起来的激情,导致又出现变故,建城工作迅速被展开,由于基本没有正常的规划和施工的区隔,建造过程完全随心所欲或者是图个方便就行,所以无论是城墙、还是私人的建筑都建造的相当糟糕,但是保证了速度,一年之内罗马城重建完毕,可想而知其效果如何。 If were not „Celts seizes Rome” this event to give the Rome person deeply grieved memory, in addition successive years of war, therefore, city garrison will conduct the repeated restoration in the slack farming season season Rome person to it for these years, to guarantee the safety of city people. Otherwise tower Pirus arrives at Rome five years ago, he will notice the condition in this city wall indecently. 如果不是“凯尔特人占领罗马”这一事件给了罗马人惨痛的记忆,再加上连年的战争,因此这几年来,在农闲时节罗马人都会对其城防进行反复的修缮,以保证城区民众的安全。否则塔皮鲁斯在五年前来到罗马,他将会看到这城墙的境况更是不堪入目。 West before Rome enters the city gate of city, has lined up, tower Pirus one group of until the toward evening, stood in the face of the city health/guard. 罗马西面入城的城门前已经排起了长队,塔皮鲁斯一行人直到黄昏时分,才站在了城卫面前。 Rome city health/guard surprise sizes up is standing in front tower Pirus as well as he accompany behind: „You come from the Theonia envoy?” 罗马城卫诧异的打量着站在面前的塔皮鲁斯以及他身后的随从们:“你们是来自戴奥尼亚的使者？” Tower Pirus after listening to translation of accompanying, the self-poise loudness said: „Yes, I present King Theonia order, comes the Rome discussion important matter!” 塔皮鲁斯在听了随从的翻译之后,镇定自若的大声说道:“是的,我是奉戴奥尼亚国王的命令,前来罗马商议要事！” The city health/guard no longer hesitates, said to nearby another soldier: „Asked Hughes to come quickly!” 城卫不再犹豫,对旁边的另一位士兵说道:“快去叫米努修斯来！” After a while, sees in the city to walk a complete military garb and helmet top crown to decorate the young people of red capstring, after he listened to the narration of city health/guard, similarly was surprised: Theonia, that is the Carthage similarly powerful kingdom! Does its envoy come to Rome for what?! 过了一会儿,就见城内走出来一位全副戎装、头盔顶冠缀有红色帽缨的青年人,他听了城卫的叙述后,同样感到了惊讶:戴奥尼亚,那可是与迦太基同样强大的王国！它的使者到罗马来是为了什么？！ Has this doubts, Hughes walks to go forward, said in the fluent Greek: „I am Rome city Chief health/guard, Hughes. You come from the Kingdom of Theonia envoy?” 带着这个疑惑,米努修斯走上前,用流利的希腊语说道:“我是罗马的城卫长官,米努修斯。你是来自戴奥尼亚王国的使者？” „I am the Theonia diplomat, tower Pirus, has the kingdom important mission, comes to discuss with Rome council.” Tower Pirus salutes. “我是戴奥尼亚的外交官,塔皮鲁斯,带着王国重要的使命,来与罗马元老院商谈。”塔皮鲁斯行礼。 „Rome welcome you, honored Kingdom of Theonia envoy!” Hughes shows the smile, saying of apology: „Very sorry, making you wait for a long time. These days, our Rome citizen is battling with invasion Volsci, another army returns to normal the rebellion of Tusculum ( Tusculam ). In order to prevent the enemy sneak attacks, therefore council stipulated, ‚only allows the Rome people to pass in and out the city gate.’” “罗马欢迎你们,尊贵的戴奥尼亚王国使者！”米努修斯露出笑容,歉意的说道:“很抱歉,让你们久等了。这段时间,我们罗马的公民正在同入侵的沃尔西作战,另外一支部队又去平复图斯库隆(Tusculam)的叛乱。为了防止敌人偷袭,因此元老院规定,‘只允许罗马民众进出城门。’” Tower Pirus showed the understanding. 塔皮鲁斯对此表示了理解。 Hughes got them to enter the city gate. 米努修斯领着他们进了城门。 Entered the Rome city, tower Pirus discovered, his beforehand judgment not wrong, not only the city wall twisted the tune crookedly, in the city these high and low and every large or small houses also constructed a bad result of big city in one year hastily. These have not definitely conducted the corporate planning house insanely to be everywhere long like the weeds of ground, becomes the street is narrow and small and curving, the trash piles up carelessly, the ground sewage crossflow, in the air is filling the stink of difference, possibly steps on the body waste incautiously...... 进入了罗马城区,塔皮鲁斯才发现,他之前的判断没有错,不只是城墙歪歪曲曲,城内这些高高低低、大大小小的住宅同样也是在一年内仓促建好一座大城的糟糕结果。这些肯定没有进行过整体规划的住宅像地上的野草一样四处疯长,将街道变得狭小而弯曲,垃圾胡乱堆放,地上污水横流,空气中弥漫着异样的臭味,一不小心还可能踩到屎尿…… Hughes sees tower Pirus and the others the brow tight wrinkle, some even covered the nose, how can not understand that is what issue. 米努修斯看到塔皮鲁斯等人都眉头紧皱,有的甚至捂住了鼻子,怎能不明白是什么问题。 His complexion slightly red explanation: „ More than ten years ago, Celts invaded our city, when we drove away them, discovered that our Rome city was ruined the larger part by them. When the reconstruction city, meets the allied country betrayal and enemy to invade, our main energies use how , to repel on the enemy, therefore without enough time and wealth reconstructs each city, has to make people solve, therefore turned into the present this...... 他脸色微红的解释道:“十多年前,凯尔特人侵占了我们的城市,等到我们赶走了他们,发现我们的罗马城被他们毁掉了一大半。在重建城市的时候,偏偏又遇上盟邦背叛、敌人入侵,我们的主要精力都用在如何击退敌人上,因此没有足够的时间和财富去重建各个城区,只好让民众自己解决,所以就变成了现在这样…… Several years ago, council had also made the resolution, must expand a path in width each block, the war that but had year after year, making us really unable to find the time...... even these days, we could not take enough manpower to move away the trash in city...... ” 前几年,元老院曾经还作出过决议,要扩宽一下各个街区的道路,但是年年发生的战争,让我们实在抽不出时间来……甚至这段时间,我们都抽不出足够的人手来运走城内的垃圾……” In the tower Pirus surface showed the understanding, the innermost feelings actually thinks otherwise, he thinks: In such bad city the environment was manifesting the Rome person to the city plan does not excel with the people's lives did not care. If in Thurii, presenting so many spacings is excessively dense, the crooked house, constructed the officials of section to send people them to use force to demolish, because it will cause the city was unsafe, causes the collapse of buildings and fire...... wait/etc. But these excessively occupy the house of street the say/way railroad bureau officials who not only will be constructed the section subordinates tear down, but also his master will also receive the heavy fine, because it invaded the public benefit...... 塔皮鲁斯表面上表示理解,内心却不以为然,他认为:这样糟糕的城内环境正体现了罗马人对城区规划的不擅长和对民众生活的不关心。如果是在图里伊,出现这么多间距过密、歪歪斜斜的住宅,建筑部的官员们早就派人将它们强行拆迁了,因为它会导致城区的不安全,引发房屋倒塌、火灾……等等。而那些过度挤占街道的住宅不但会被建筑部下属的道路局官员所拆掉,而且其主人也会受到重罚,因为它侵占了公共的利益……
