Description
Rome Sent Two Envoys ~ Illyria Sent Them Home
In 230 BC the Roman Senate sent two envoys to Queen Teuta of Illyria to demand that her people stop raiding ships. Polybius records that she refused, on the grounds that Illyrian rulers did not police their subjects' private plunder. Rome did not take it well, and the First Illyrian War began in 229 BC. She had been asked, and she had answered.
- For the woman whose no is final: A gift for the friend who declines the group trip without an excuse, the manager who ends the meeting, and the aunt nobody has ever talked into anything.
- Diplomacy, brief: Rome brought a demand dressed as a request, and she treated it like the request.
- Enthroned in: Part of Pirate Queens, where the superpower showed up and left with homework.
Damien swears the best stories start after sundown on the dock, when the breeze turns cool and nobody wants to go below deck ~ this Comfort Colors long sleeve tee is made for exactly that watch: soft garment-dyed ring-spun cotton, a relaxed lived-in fit and sleeves all the way to the wrist, sizes S through 3XL ~ hoist the colors and stay out a little longer
