Remnants of Rome

Great update
The SPQR looks interesting, but I have to remind you all, that nothing is everlasting.
Personally, I think changing the east was a great Idea, and I am looking forward to the next steps of the Horde.
Maybe in the next update, Brittain could be changed?
I was hoping for a Langubardian invasion. I think this would change the face of Brittain for a long time, and It would give Ireland a chance to throw of the British shekels.
I have reasons to believe that the Hiberians will be independent soon, en certainly in the future:
So, will Hibernia eventually revolt against the HRE: I think so.
They will wait for the opportune moment

- Ireland (in this period) was a very de-centralized region. It is proven that in the early middle ages, the de-centralized lands where the hardest to conquer: it was nearly impossible. If you would kill a tribal warlord or a king, the Irish system of inheritance assured that their would be more then enough successors to seize the throne
- The Irish had a way of warfare the Romans (and Roman based armies) couldn’t deal with. A fact well proven in Scotland and Germania.
- nobody can deny the fact that the Irish warrior never sleeps: and their pride kept them from surrendering completely (until gunpowder ages, of course)
- except for the southeast, the greater part of Ireland wasn’t suited for a centralized way of farming : without a stable farming community in the direct area of a fort of city, it was very hard to control.
So, will Hibernia eventually revolt against the HRE: I think so.

Nice update. Finally the SPQR controls Rome again, though it doesn't look like they're going to make it their capitol or anything. Surely the Romans are going to come into conflict with the Langubardians at some point though, right?
I'm interested to see what happens in India. India has been unaffected thus far by the waves of barbarian invasions (unless you count the Zoharists, and that was a while ago) and so should be doing pretty well economically. Perhaps you could get some sort of Chola equivalent trading with SE Asia and Africa in both directions.
Will the Magyars head south and mess with the Taurikegutans, or will they keep on heading west into OTL Poland? Personally I'd vote for the latter, but in the end its up to you.
This TL is one of my favorites on the site. Keep up the good work!

Would there be any interest in a language update or something of the sort, when the TL reaches around 700 or so?
Very few, if any, of the territories are going to become provinces. There is not really a process for admittance as a province, either, unless most of a territory's teritores (re)adopted Roman culture or served in the Roman army, or if a lot of Romans settled in the area, but if the teritores were in such a position they would just move to the provinces, anyway.
Maybe, maybe. The King of all the Kong may have something to say about that.
Is this timeline really that simple and dumb that everything is just something changing? I doubt that.
¿O Inglés no es su primera lengua, y usted solo sabe la palabra 'change' para este propósito? Si es así, entonces puedo entender eso.
Yes.
Hibernia, like Pictia is being settled and assimilated big time. They will break off, but they wouldn't be Goidels anymore. They wouldn't be Brytanianes either, but they'd be reasonably non-Goidel. Actually, Langubardia may conquer Hibernia.
At some point, yes. Once they are nearly equal in power.
HOW DARE YOU CALL OUR AHURA-FEARING PEOPLE BARBARIANS!?
Rest assured that the Indian empires with the coolest names will be expanding. And one of them will equal or surpass the Chola.
I'll say that it has something to do with the Taurikegutans getting their money back from the Türüks.

Gracias, señor.
lol, yeah, I'll fix it.
EDIT: And that bit about the two Toramanid armies was wrong too. I was tired when I checked it over, okay?
The announcement in the court of the SPQR that henceforth Langubardia would be referred to as 'the next installment' caused grave concern among notable Langubards...

nope, I just made a educated guess
so Pictia and Hiberina as a Brythonic-Gaelic Hybrid
sounds like fun to me
now you made me curious
and Langubardia wil face some heavy resistance
tho I dont believe Ireland would be a sensible conquest for them
Brittain is far richer, and for an empire like theirs, SPQR is a greater threat then the divided Irish

Ideas:
Maybe have a new power move into the jerusalem region and forbid pilgrimage to jerusalem. And unlike the real crusades have the nation detrmined completly in the effort and have it launch a serious effort to hold it. Maybe a reconquest of the eastern roman empire?
Possibly, a restoration of the rhine and danube frontiers?

Almost all of it is alternate, though a lot of the names are bastardizations or evolutions from existing names.
A new power is conquering Jerusalem, but it would be odd for them to forbid pilgrimage. However there will indeed be a reformation of an empire... I wouldn't call it Eastern Roman. I wouldn't call it a restored Yehudahid Rahbarate either...
No, it doesn't. Ziben is capital as in capitalism, not as in capital city. The character you're looking for is jing (京).
More generally, this looks like an interesting timeline, and I'll have to read the whole thing someday.
