We need more Late Antiquity Timelines

I feel that there is a significant lack of timelines regarding Later Antiquity (in-between 117 CE and 500 CE) these days. Yes I'm making a thread about it. This time period is set alongside many crossroads in history, may it be the general decline of Rome, the utter uncertainty of the Crisis Period, whether or not Christianity or some other cult would become ascendent at this time (and what impacts that would make), the Germanic/Slavic/Turkic mass migrations and invasions, the fall (or possible saving) of antiquity, and so on. You'd think this would catch on with Total War Attila in the markets. Anyways...

I would like to inform you my fellow members of this golden potential that this time period entails, especially for possible alternate timelines, and of any resources useful in learning more about the period. Feel free to share any resources, ideas and/or feedback here! Let's make this summer a productive time for timelines!

My timeline in my sig is currently going through the Late Antiquity period. I don't know if that counts. But yes, the various migrations that occur during this period are ripe for butterfly-caused tornadoes to sweep through Europe, Asia Minor, Central Asia, and even North Africa.

It would be nice see more Late Antiquity TLs. But main problems is that LA POD would cause butterflies which soon make things pretty unrecognsible.

But isn't that part of the point? To flesh out and paint the future of a timeline no matter how far down in time it goes? I've seen it done before and I'll be damned not to see it done again! B)

For example, replace the Slavic migrations with Baltic migrations. Then bring popcorn.

I get what you're saying but isn't that true of any "way back in time" POD such as anything to do with the Roman Empire? And prompts about the Roman Empire is probably the most popular TL subject on this board. The initial POD creates a storm of butterflies.

5th century feels off limits if you ask me, and that goes for a lot of interesting periods of time which many feel have been covered and done much better.

I'm referring to Romulus Augustus' timeline in regards to the 5th century, anything before then is just as intimidating plus it involves heavily complicated politics that ultimately prove to important to misstep but too numerous to effectively cover them all.
