Hegemony over the Bosphorus

lat_hegemony_over_the_bosphorus_advance

Dominating the narrow gates of the Black Sea allows us to levy heavy tolls on the Italian merchant republics that once dictated our fate through debt and naval blockade. The wealth of the Pontic grain trade and the Silk Road's northern terminus now flows directly into the Imperial coffers rather than Venice or Genoa, funding our restoration. We have turned the Golden Horn from a den of foreign merchants into the beating heart of a centralized, sovereign, and wealthy empire.
