Recently, there have been lots of tensions circulating throughout Rome. There has been some social and economic issues between the great city of Rome and Greek city-state, Sparta. This has been a long-standing feud with neither side willing to back down. The worsening economy in Sparta has only furthered the tensions as there is talk of the city declaring war on their northern rival.
Because of the tensions, Sparta has been passive-aggressively doing certain things to Rome. Particularly, they've been deploying out naval ships and soldiers onto trade routes, making the resources for Rome much more limited.
Worse yet, you've recently come across some disturbing rumors that the Gauls have been supporting the Spartans. Recently, they've been sending ships to provide supplies and reinforcements to the island.
The rumours of invasion, cut-off trade, and impending war have all taken their toll on the Senate, making them begin to fight amongst themselves. Many of them have started a sort of civil war, between the people who want their own version of the republic, and the ones demanding to reform Rome into an empire.
The ones in Senate who are not fighting each other have begun to try and ally themselves with Athens in an effort to fight off the invasion.
