The Templum Bellonae (Temple of Bellona) is…

Amastris also founds a city called after her own name Amastris on the seacoast of Paphlagonia, by the fusion (synoecism) of the four smaller towns, originally Ionian colonies, of Sesamus, Cronma, Cytorus and Tium.

Ptolemy makes peace in about 296 BCE with Antigonus’ son Demetrius, to whom he betroths his daughter Ptolemais.

The region of Braga has been inhabited since prehistoric times. During the Iron Age, the Bracari, a Celtic people, settled in the area, constructing their characteristic fortified villages (castra).

Braga later became the capital of the Callaici Bracarii (Bracarenses), a tribe that occupied what is now Galicia and northern Portugal.

It has long been established that they spoke a Celtic language, as evidenced by inscriptions such as the dedication to the goddess Nabia at Braga’s Fonte do Ídolo ("Fountain of the Idol"), and the name of their town, Tongobriga (modern Marco de Canaveses).

The Cisalpine Celts have remained a threat to Rome until their final defeat in 295, when a Roman army under Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus and Publius Decius Mus (son of the hero of the Latin War) crushes a united force of Samnites, Umbrians, Etruscans, and Gauls at Sentinum (present Sassoferrato).

Decius, like his father, had deliberately sacrificed his life during the battle to rally his men to victory.

All but the Samnites make peace with Rome.

The consul Publis Decius Mus had captured several of the Volscinian fortresses in 307 BCE.

In 295 BCE, Lucius Postumius Megellus ravages their territory and defeats them under the walls of their own city, slaying twenty-eight hundred of them; in consequence of which they, together with Perusia (modern Perugia) and Arretium, purchase a forty years' peace by the payment of a heavy fine.

A sensational scandal occurs in 294 BCE at the court of Seleucus.

Antiochus, his son by his Sogdian queen, Apama, has fallen in love with his beautiful stepmother, Stratonice, and his unrequited passion affects his health.

Seleucus gives him Stratonice and assigns him as commander in chief to the upper satrapies.

Ptolemy has lost what he had held in Greece, and apparently mingles as little as possible in the rivalries between Asia Minor and Greece from this point forward,  but in 295-294 he regains control over Cyprus, together with …

…the Phoenician coastal towns of Sidon and Tyre.

Demetrius, having kept a foothold in Greece, conquers most of the peninsula in 294, defeating Archidamus IV of Sparta, son of Eudamidas I, grandson of Archidamus III, in a battle at Mantineia.

Sparta is saved only because Demetrius is called away by the threatening activities of his rivals Lysimachus and Ptolemy.

Pyrrhus had at first reigned with a kinsman, Neoptolemus, but soon had had his colleague assassinated.

He exploits the dynastic quarrel in Macedon in 294 to obtain the frontier areas of Parauaea and Tymphaea, along with Acarnania, Ampholochia, and Ambracia.
