    They Come in All Colours: A Timeline
    Threadmarks: Introduction

    There are people everywhere who form a Forth World, or a diaspora of their own. They are the lordly ones. They come in all colours. They can be Christians or Hindus or Muslims or Jews or pagans or atheists. They can be young or old, men or women, soldiers or pacifists, rich or poor. They may be...

    Μηδίζω! The World of Achaemenid Hellas
    Threadmarks: Introduction and Raison d'etre

    Μηδίζω! THE WORLD OF ACHAEMENID HELLAS INTRODUCTION Welcome, one and all, to my newest alternate history concept! It's one that I've been circling around and avoiding for a little while now, but one that I've been brought back to time and time again; a successful (however you interpret...

    For a Fistful of Amphorae (or; These oath gods will destroy you)

    Introduction There is a supreme tension caused by wondrous discoveries about the past; they provide enough insight to provoke curiosity and some understanding, but they hint at a vast and more complete whole to which they belonged. Even when that pool of knowledge grows we tend to find...

    Could Silphium have been saved?

    The silphium herb, native to Cyrenaica, was Cyrene's main export in its early history. As a reliable abortion inducer it was in absurdly high demand, and it was harvested to extinction in antiquity. Could measures have been taken to guarantee that it was farmed in a more sustainable manner, or...

    Support your Local Satrap!

    This timeline is a reboot/revival of my previous one, Paint your Chariot with Pride. It was not my intention for that to fall into disrepair, but essentially my university studies got too intense and I lost the time that I would have used maintaining the timeline. Now that my degree is...

    Most Interesting Pre-European PoD for America?

    To be more specific, i've been very impressed with several timelines that deal with different domestications and/or agricultural packages in America. That's not what i'm looking for in this thread however; I'm looking to find out what people familiar with pre-European American history think...

    Outsiders Meddling in India

    Is it possible for a foreign force to manipulate the realities/social differences between the Castes of India as they existed around 200BC to their advantage? In the same way that the Near Eastern Empires actively courted social elites in various cultures/states. If this has known to have...

    Was Augustus/Octavian necessary?

    This question relies on several assumptions. Firstly, that the Roman state will be militarily successful in a way that approximates its success as of actual history. Secondly, that the growth in power of Roman military figures will transform them into warlords over time, again as of actual...

    Paint Your Chariot With Pride! Reboot of Alexander conquers Arabia timeline

    The Last Years of Alexander the Great Part 1 "What an excellent horse do they lose, for want of address and boldness to manage him!" At the start of June in the year 323BCE, the generals and satraps of Alexander’s Empire were confronted with the very real possibility that Alexander the...

    What would Kushites/The Kingdom of Kush refer to themselves as?

    As far as I understand it, what is generally referred to as the Kingdom of Kush doesn't seem to have an attested 'native' name; 'Kush' is originally from Hebrew sources, the Egyptians referred to it as 'Punt' fairly frequently, Romans and Greeks referred to it as Ethiopia/Aethiopia and also...

    A 'Celtic' Britain: How does it work?

    I have a relatively simple question; what are the likeliest PODs to stop Anglo-Saxon dominance over the British Isles? This would not have to remove Anglo-Saxons completely, just leave 'England' controlled by Brythonic peoples, with a Roman-Brythonic culture. Since we're dealing with the very...

    Ripple Timeline: WI Alexander Conquered Arabia?

    I have to admit that the original POD of this timeline is not especially novel, but I think it leads in an interesting direction and that it can be made to be unique and interesting. It's somewhat sketchy right now but i'm hoping with feedback and help it to grow. This timeline is not operating...
