Indeed, Greek mercenaries rode with Scipio against Hannibal, and later helped Rome conquer their own peoples one by one. The Romans have not shied from this practice - far from it. The wars of Alexander the Great's successors heralded a new age of sellswords, when the best and brightest soldiers of the Mediterranean made their way to Macedon and Phyrgia to kill and be killed for coin. And conflict, above all things, breeds mercenaries as corpses breed flies. The Macedonians, the Persians, and now the Romans have all struggled and warred and bled over this land in years past, even as you and yours do now.

(High chance of positive modifiers, Prophecy will be interpreted normally, will take 2 turns to be delivered back) They are quite overworked, however, serving much of Asia Minor, and a reply will take some weeks. You could ask one of them to interpret it. The Servants of the Sun: The priests of Apollo at the Temple in nearby Pergamon are well-trained in the art of prophecy, and deliver many hundreds of prophecies a year.

The City of Brotherly Love: The Sardisians claim that their rivals, the city of Philadelphia, induced Mithridates to sack Sardis, and indeed threw open their gates to the conquerors.
