  1. Long term effects of the Franks failing on Germany

    Of course as this is completely different from our history it might be difficult, but does anyone have any unique ideas on what could happen in Germany if the Franks fail to conquer Gaul? Let's say Clovis fails to unite the Franks or something of that nature (not my area of expertise lol). Any...

    There are apparently Italic Tribes in Gaul and Iberia according to this research

    https://www.academia.edu/49884168/Celtic_and_Italic_from_the_West_the_Genetic_Evidence This paper is similar to Allinei and Proto English website, he talked here that Ligurians, Tartessians, and Lusitanians are Italic. I think people can use it for research for any alternate timelines.

  4. HBO's Gaul

    It's 2021. Some big TV network (doesn't actually have to be HBO) seeking to emulate the success of shows like Game of Thrones and Vikings, is looking to the past for inspiration for a drama series, and has settled on Gaul and Britannia during the Gallic Wars from 58 BC to 52 BC ending with the...

    What happens to Gaul in the absence of Roman interference?

    So let's say that Rome doesn't rise or is less successful than OTL, being confined to a part of the Italian peninsula. There are plenty of Rome-screw scenarios to work with. Either way, Gaul remains dominated by various Celtic chiefdoms and tribes, some of which were showing signs of evolving...

    DBWI: Syagrius does not defeat Clovis and restore the Gallic Empire

    I actually remember that Syagrius was able to defeat both the Burgundians and Visigoths after he defeated Clovis of the Franks by allying with the remaining Franks against the Visigoths and later allying with the Vandals against the Burgundians. In the 11th century Edward the Exile married...

    DBWI: No Nicean Empire?

    The Nicean Empire was the root of western civilization. Based in southern France around the Greek colony of Nicaea, it was able to expand into covering much of the Mediterranean and western Europe.

    AHC: Make Gaul as Celtic As Possible Post Roman Collapse

    Gaul/France used to be a bastion of Celtic culture, but since the Romans and Germanic tribes, that has been lost to time. Your goal is to prevent that lost of Celtic identity, especially after the fall of rome, as much as possible with a POD between the crisis of the third century and 476...
  11. PC: A civilized ancient Celtic culture?

    I have seen a number of threads about the possibilities of a non-Mediterranean culture developing similarly to Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, etc, but I understand that for such civilizations to rise, you need an urbanized culture developing complex religion, writing and agriculture. Due to the...

  14. AHQ: When was the rise of the Roman Republic as a powerbase in Italy inevitable?

    The question I must ask, is to which degree the rise of the Roman Republic in Italy was a foregone conclusion? Further, what is the status of Rome in say 600 BCE? Which factors led to the rise of the eventual Republic and what are these contingent upon? My assumption, is that Rome developed...
  15. Q: Which was the state of Celtic Paganism during the Roman period?

    I'm a bit confused about this topic. Was Celtic Paganism classified as religio licita or illicita? I got conflicting informations: some Celtic traditions survived and were accepted* (Epona.) and others not really (Druids**?). What I want to understand is whether Celtic Paganism was completely...
  16. Gaul/Gallic empire survives. What happens to the Germans?

    The rise and fall of the Gauls and the Gallic empire was a rather interesting piece of European history. Native Celts in modern day France trying to fend off Roman invaders and eventually rebelling and attempting to form their own empire/nation only to fall in a matter of years and the Gauls...

    The Crossing of the Rhine is unsuccessful?

    Following the Crossing of the Rhine in 406 AD by a mixed group of barbarians into the Roman Empire, there was a period of instability as northern Gaul succumbed to chaos and pillaging by the barbarians. This in turn caused the rise of three usurpers in Britannia. It also didn't help that the...

    It's a little known fact that, as well as establishing themselves in Britain, the Saxons also had a small, short-lived presence in Gaul, evident from the existence of Saxon Shore forts on both sides of the Channel and from records dating to the fifth century detailing Saxon raids as far south as...
