Through a combination of political upheavals, a desire to make a name for yourselves, population pressure, and the search for opportunities, you have all dedicated yourself to the goal of creating a new colony, an apoikia, under the leadership of Onasagoras.
It is customary to seek the approval of the Delphic Oracle before embarking on a colonial enterprise such as this, and Onasagoras is doing just that.
Which of the following destinations is Onasagoras proposing to settle?
A) A coastal settlement in southern Gaul to compete with Massalia, near a hillfort inhabited by locals known as Narbaioi.
B) A coastal settlement on the south-eastern coast of Iberia, a good olive growing region, near the existing Iberian settlement of Edeta.
C) A coastal settlement in Illyria already maintained as a prosperous port by the sometime traders, sometime pirates known as the Liburnoi.

Let’s go to Iberia! I hear they have excellent flamenco music. And many running bulls.
C. An established prosperous settlement seems like a safe bet! I’m sure the locals will fall right into line.
