Vascones
The Vascones were a pre-roman tribe who inhabited the territory that spans between the upper course of the Ebro river and the southern basin of the western Pyrenees. The Vascones are considered ancestors of the present-day Basques to whom they left their name. Unlike the Aquitanians or Cantabrians, the Vascones negotiated their status in the Roman Empire, and were peacefully assimilated by the Romans. In the Sertorian War, Pompey established his headquarters in their territory, founding Pompaelo, which soon became the most important Vascon city. The Germanic tribes pose a thrat to the Vascones, and a Germanic invasion of Hispania is inminent. The Vascones need a powerful leader to consolidate their power around the Pyrenees and defend their homeland from invading armies. Help the Roman Empire restore its glory or contribute to its downfall!
