Mare Nostrvm - "De Bello Civili" Tournament
The first tournament for Mare Nostrvmis here! 16 brave captains and sailors are requested for this competition but beware. The Gods of the Abysses are eager to receive some sacrifice so be sure to not be part of them!
You’ll fight three of the major naval battles fought during the bitter years of the Great Roman Civil War (49–31 BC): Tauris, Naulochus and Actium.
