Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki, 4th century: the sun ascended, illuminating the Forum and the harbor's masts, bathing a city vibrant with ambition in a golden glow. Its bustling markets teemed with merchants from every corner of the empire: Greeks, Romans, Syrians, and Illyrians, all engaged in trade, intrigue, and the pursuit of wealth. Amidst the clamor, rumors of imperial favor and trade monopolies permeate the agora. Ships, laden with grains, oil, grapes, and meat, creak under their bounty, destined for distant ports or the vast granaries of powerful patricians. You are one of these patricians, competing for riches and influence. Yet only the shrewdest will rise above the chaos.
