Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

A series of robust stone walls and towering watchtowers stretch along the rugged coastline, braced against the relentless crashing waves. These fortifications serve not only as formidable defenses against pirate attacks and naval incursions but also as a testament to Brundisium’s critical role as a maritime hub during turbulent times. Echoes of the past resonate here, where the defense of trade routes was paramount in supporting the war efforts of Rome and its allies during the Third Samnite War.
