Scenarios about 'pyrrhus'

Pyrrhus of Epirus was a Hellenistic Greek king and military commander renowned for his costly victories against Rome in the early 3rd century BCE, which gave rise to the term "Pyrrhic victory." His campaigns in Italy and Sicily represented one of the most significant early challenges to Roman expansion, while his tactical brilliance and use of war elephants left a lasting impact on military history. In alternate history scenarios, Pyrrhus often serves as a pivotal figure whose more decisive success might have prevented Roman dominance in the Mediterranean world.
