Though Postumus had managed to solidify his reputation and legitimacy with the capture of Rome he knew that more was still needed to be done in order to ensure that any mistake would not lead to usurpers or his own army turning against him. After all, Postumus had been proclaimed by soldiers of...

I need to revive my “Gers on the Danube” TL. My view on that was the Mongols were able to capture the King of Hungary and force him into a vassal relationship which gives them a base of operations in the Pannonia Plains. From there they are able to extort the Byzantines, break the Poles and...

The Balkans with some of the Anatolia.

As former governor of Germania Superior Emperor Postumus was no stranger to the region - the landscape, its people, how long it took to move an army through the area, and most importantly how to defend it. Admittedly his strategy was copied from other generals and emperors contemporary to him...

To answer the question...sort of? Postumus has Rome so he is widely recognize as Augustus but there are pockets of hostile (Thessaloniki) and neutral (Egypt, Palmyra) factions. As we are seeing though the Roman Empire is developing 3-4 autonomous states...within the state itself.

The Gallican Empire is so named due to the influence of the Gallic provinces on the persons and administration of the western Roman regimes following the rise of Postumus to the purple. As mentioned previously Postumus’ powerbase primarily came from the Gaulish provinces firstly and...

I figure, why don't we have an Byzantine Empire for the West? ---- Imperator Caesar Publius Licinius Egnatius Gallienus Augustus had been troubled by a rival in Gaul since 260 when the German legions raised among themselves Imperator Caesar Marcus Cassianius Latinius Postumus Pius Felix...

Very interesting. I look forward to the second overthrow of the Bourbons

In the cultural tradition of the Kal’llan, the original peoples who lived along the banks of the Ona’llan status as part of their tribal group was determined not by blood but by place of birth in respect to the great river that they worshipped. When the early Kal’llan empires expanded beyond...

This idea sprang mostly from an interesting scenario I saw on the Imaginary Maps Reddit - where in the future the United States has gone the way of the Roman Empire splitting itself into three distinct governments to rule over the United States territory (with varying degrees of success and...

With their fairly Anti-Plantation slavery views the Slave States are not going to get along with the Onallan.

Officially if not exactly de facto. They have a client relationship with some of the Mal’llan tribes of the Salish Sea. Officially at least with the British and Americans they have things west of the Rockies. I think I’ve mentioned it before but the issue of European slavery will be a very...

Yea I’m thinking most of the larger migrations will actually be facilitated partly at least by ship travel rather than overland. Especially considering how close they are to New Orleans.

Since winning their independence from the British Empire, even before, the American settlers had always had a tenuous relationship with the tribes and nations that made up the Native Americans of the East. A swinging pendulum of trade, cooperation, conflict, and bloodshed. As the 19th century...

Not necessarily. The primary reason of course was to make that sweet cash from monopolizing easier trade routes to the Asian markets. An endeavor an Al-Andalus would be interested in. Though we can throw in political ones like say the Caliphate split continues or the Cordobans adopt a more...

I’d be up for it personally. The easiest way most likely comes from an surviving Cordoba Caliphate.

Not implausible, what you would as a basis is: 1. A large number of Khazars to migrate into the Pannonia Basin. 2. Those Khazars are in the majority Jewish. 3. They are able to preserve their identity as what would likely be a minority in the basin. 4. They are able to hold onto power in the...

I’m curious if Constantine III would have not been capable of it but perhaps someone from the House of Theodosius? One of his biggest issues of course was being a usurper and Hispania was aligned with Honorius. Though this situation may lead to a more “Roman Britain and Gaul” than just Roman...

There can be some argument that Hannibal decided to attack Rome and their allies too early. In particular as the Carthaginian were still developing their Spanish territories, fighting Iberian tribes (who leapt at the opportunity to hold down reinforcements for Hannibal’s campaigns in Italy) and...

And there was a lot of eye rolling about being offended by adults watching a show about Ponies.
