Constantius

Relations to Earth
Constantius is based off of Byzantium, with a hint of Rome.

Leader
The Leader of Constantius is Emperor Cassius Antonis. Antonis was once a general for Constantius during the Raiding of Constantos by the country of Jorvik. Antonis proved himself worthy for the throne by leading his small army to drive out the Jorvikings out of the capital, Constanos. Once the Emperor before him died, the Constantines insited of having Antonis as king. Once king, Cassius gave his famous speech, the Decleration of Praise, which rallied Constantine Soldiers to finish the raiding, and "fend off the evil once more and forever!"

Capital
The capital of Constantius is Constanos. Constantos is a great trading city, having one of the largest harbor on Tellus. One of the most visited wonders of Constantius is the Light of Fax Ops, meaning the light of power.

Achievments
The Constantines have great factors and achievments. One is the Military Seige weapon called "Ignis Telum." The Ignus Telum is just like a trebuchet, execpt the it has a boost of a gunpowder metal balls. These metal balls are giant hollow containers the is filled with gunpowder and finally lit just before it gets hurled at it's enemies.

Another unit is the Matara, the piked horseman. These fully amoured units gallop into battle on fully armoured horses, with a 7 foot pike ejecting out as they run into the enemy and really see battle. Also the Matara has a crossbow strapped to thier horse just in case it is in need.

And one more thing. The Navicula. These high speed boats are trading boats that can carry up to 9 tons worth of cargo. The reason of the speed of the boat is the invention of the moving tri-sail, 3 sails the can be moved across the ship aside from its verticle postion. Also, the ships sailor are usually trained for battle, so don't go trying to rob them without knowing that.

The Self-Firing Crossbow: With just the repeated crank of a lever, a person can shoot, reload, and then shoot again. The Self-Firing Crossbow is the ideal weapon for ranged seige, being able to shoot over 650 feet.
