levelled by Mighty Aphrodite.
To be picky: Since the Romans were doing the conquering, it wouldn't be Aphrodite but Venus.
And more picky: What's Aphrodite or Venus doing leveling a city (unless, somehow, it was leveled by
love... or some passion the Romans had for war??). If leveling was to be done by a Roman goddess,
it would be Artemis' Roman parallel: Diana. And hell, as long as we're going that far, I'd give credit to
the Roman god Mars. But that aside, I grant you 100 points for "Assuwan city". Esoteric you are dude!
