344 BC

So, what year is the LARP set in? My best guess is 344 BC. The blurb from the gaming page states that it is about 350 BC. It also states that a new "Suffete" is being elected. Mago III died in 344 BC and the next king (Hanno III) took over that year. Other things going on in this year include:

-- Aristotle, a student of Plato, investigates natural history (especially marine biology) on the island of Lesbos

-- Eastern Anatolia separates from Persia.

-- Dionysius, Tyrant of Syracuse, goes into exile after an invasion by Timoleon of Corinth.

-- Battle of Granciu.

-- According to Plutarch, a 12-year-old Alexander the Great acquires Bucephalus, his legendary horse

So, many plot tie-ins including Alexander the Great, Aristotle and Syracuse. During this era, Carthage was at war with Syracuse over Sicily and not doing well. Also, Plato died three years prior in 347 BC, so maybe he is a vampire?

Anyone care to make a case for another year?
