Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

Oricum was a Greek colony located on the southern coast of the Adriatic Sea, near the modern-day city of Vlorë. It was a key port for trade between the Greek colonies in Italy and the Illyrian tribes. Known for its natural harbors, Oricum became a strategic location for naval and military operations.
