The Wolf of Magna Graecia

In 326 BC, the Mediterranean stands on the brink of a new era. Alexander the Great is dead, his empire is fracturing, Carthage dominates western trade, and the Roman Republic is steadily expanding across Italy. Reborn as Adrian, the seventeen-year-old son of an impoverished aristocratic family in the Greek city of Taras, a modern man finds himself in a world where wealth, political influence, and military strength determine the fate of nations. Armed with modern knowledge of economics, engineering, administration, military strategy, and history, Adrian begins by restoring his family’s declining fortune. Through commercial ventures, technological improvements, political alliances, and calculated investments, he gradually establishes himself among the city’s influential elite. Yet his ambitions soon extend beyond personal wealth. Recognizing the approaching threat of Roman expansion and the weakness of the divided Greek colonies, Adrian sets out to transform Taras into the center of a unified and powerful state. As his influence grows, he must navigate aristocratic rivalries, popular unrest, foreign interference, and increasingly dangerous wars. What begins as an effort to save a declining family becomes an ambitious campaign to unite Magna Graecia, dominate the Italian peninsula, and eventually challenge the greatest powers of the ancient Mediterranean. His ultimate ambition is to establish an empire that will eclipse Rome, Carthage, and even Alexander’s legendary conquests. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Wolf of Magna Graecia — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
