The Road to Cyrene

Cyrene's chief local export is the medicinal herb silphium. The Romans occupy this Lybian city and our orders are to sieze it so our empire will control this valuable herb. There is a narrow passage we need to secure first. This passage is the best way for the rest of our troops to gain access to the city.
