09 Sep 18 UTC Spring, 1: Greetings, o minor rulers. I am Theodosius II, longest-reigning of all emperors, look upon my lands, ye not so mighty, and despair!
10 Sep 18 UTC Spring, 1: I am Xerxes, King of Kings and ruler of Babylon. Persia is the power in the East and those in my court look unfavourably on Caesar's arrogance. I urge you to be wary of such premature proclamations. May the gods smile on us all.
10 Sep 18 UTC Spring, 1: We are Carthage a friendly oligarchy of simple traders.

If anyone wants to buy our coloured glass or famous cement, let me know!
10 Sep 18 UTC Spring, 1: Salutations to all noble souls! Philip V, King of Hellas, sends his most solemn and gracious wishes to all the esteemed rulers of the Mediterranean.
12 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 1: Blessings from Queen Hatshepsut. May each of your reigns be as long as the Nile.
12 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 1: Shekels rule Carthage!

How about some North African wine? Only 6 shekels a barrel! Buy now, only while stocks last!
13 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 1: Hmmm...that does sound tempting, although our wine is the best in the world so maybe we'll stick with our Nero d'Avola.
14 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 1: This talk of trade and wine is tiresome. Your fermented fruit drinks only serve to cloud the mind from the duties of nations and kings. Plus our baklava is undoubtedly the truest delicacy of the Med.
14 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 1: Anyone for humous?
15 Sep 18 UTC Spring, 2: Carthage hopes that Egypt will respond to our requests for a peaceful border between our nations; between leptis and Cyrene.

With such a border the trade of goods between our nations would benefit all!
18 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 2: Hatshepsut echoes this call for a peaceful border.
25 Sep 18 UTC Spring, 3: Carthage violates treaties and borders drawn up in good faith - such treachery and arrogance will be its downfall.
26 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 3: Let word ring out that the God-King Xerxes will not stand for Greece's treachery. Before this war is out, we will erase even the memory of Sparta from the histories.

The world will never know you existed at all.
27 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 3: The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, even a god-king can bleed.

Your war with us started when you threatened Egypt. We did not start it, but we will end it.
28 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 3: For the many, not the few?
29 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 3: For the many not the few!
29 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 3: Will you end it, or will it end you?
12 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 5: To the holy leaders of the nations of the Ancient Mediterranean, Xerxes proclaims this - Greece and Egypt entered into a foolish pact which has ultimately cost the Pharaoh their lands. Witness Carthage crumble the pyramids to dust. Greece - know that the same fate awaits you.

But what of the future of our empires?
