Well off the top of my head, Maurice sent a Roman army to put the exiled Sassanid ruler Khosru on the Sassanid throne. The Ptolemies and Seleucids also did this to each other at times.The situation of a foreign king actually lending such a sizeable military aid to an exiled ruler, is it something that actually happened OTL?
I mean, i know i have seen it more than once in historical-ish fiction, and i am not questioning it happened, but i don't know if it was actually a normal occurrence.
Great update as always, it's obvious you really enjoy writing certain characters!

It happened in history more often that you'd think
Also, I'd like to thank willbell and Widikund for nominating this timeline for the Best Continuing Ancient TL Turtledove. I greatly appreciate the honor

There's also the Persians trying to put an old Athenian king back on the throne at the time of the Battle of Marathon.
Errnge has announced that The Weighted Scales is officially on hiatus.
Unfortunately it's true. Ideas/ inspiration has run dry, so hopefully we shall see more Scales when it comes back.
I was gonna do some interesting things with Slyfox on that topic later on in our Veii TL...Why don't you try looking up some stuff on Ancient China and India? I think someone like you could do some hilarious shit with those two areas.
Except for a similar POD that does not lead to the Battle of Allia and the Sack of Rome, which still somehow weakens the Romans in the long run...Which has absolutely nothing to do with this TL...
