Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

A dense woodland on the outskirts of Venusia, known as the 'Woodland of Mars.' Locals gather firewood and essential resources here, while the dense foliage provides cover for Samnite resistance fighters. The woodland embodies the untamed spirit of the region and serves as a reminder of the lingering Samnite presence.

Thick canopies of towering trees casting dappled shadows on the forest floor, with sunbeams breaking through the leaves, illuminating patches of underbrush rich with ferns and wildflowers.
