The year is 345 BC. After long years of conflict Sicily is at peace. Hicetas, Tyrant of Leontini, rules over Syracuse and is allied to Carthage. In fact, General Mago is staying with a small mercenary force in Syracuse itself…much to the discomfort of local Syracusans who still hate Carthage.
But secretly Syracusan democrats have appealed to the mother city, Corinth, to release them from the yoke of Tyrants and Carthage. And news has just arrived that Timoleon “savior of Syracuse” has landed near Leontini!
So, Syracuse is risen against the Hicetas and loyal citizens are blocking all streets as the enraged citizen mob rounds up Tyrant loyalists and the hated Carthaginians to be lynched in the Capitol.
Mago’s spy broke in with the alarming news in the nick of time. Or is it too late already. Gathering his personal guards Mago runs through the streets of Syracuse down to the port and a secret barge ready to whisk him out of the city…but for that he will have to break through the citizen picket lines before the mob reaches him!!!
