Scenarios about 'epirus'

A historical region in the southern Balkans, now split between Greece and Albania, known for its mountainous terrain and strategic position on the Adriatic Sea. In antiquity, Epirus was home to the Molossian kingdom and the site of the Oracle of Dodona, while later becoming significant during conflicts between various Mediterranean powers including Rome, Byzantium, and the Ottoman Empire. Alternate history scenarios often explore Epirus as an independent state or examine how different control of this crossroads region might have altered Balkan and Mediterranean power dynamics.
