Well, I hope you can squeeze these events in
. Maybe the pop drop is a little bit heavy, but the period of large open peaceful cities was at his end for Anatolia.
-Did you do the description for the Nika revolt? Otherwise I'll help and PM you.

The grants were large enough for infantry to support themselves and their families, while cavalry and sailors could afford to hire tenant farmers to work the land. They were always on call for defensive duties, besides their annual spring training and occasional offensives; unlike mercenaries, they would fight very fiercely to protect their land. The system worked very well, increasing the size and effectiveness of the military, raising the prosperity of the countryside by creating a class of small freeholding farmers, and reducing government expenses."
