roman republic

So, suppose that Marcus Antonius (anglicized as Mark Antony) is successful in defeating Octavian, be it at the Battle of Actium or an alternate major battle between both. MA ends up in charge of Rome. What title will he assume? Imperator, like Octavian? Dictator Pro Vita? Pontifex Maximus, if...

Pompey disbanded the army, then went to Rome and demanded that the Senate should give his veterans land and that his dispositions in the east should be accepted. This was refused. So, why did he disband his army? If he had brought it to Rome, his demands would no doubt have been accepted. Pomepy...

During the French Revolutionary Wars, Revolutionary France overthrew the Papal States, in its place creating a nation known as the Roman Republic. Yeah, Roman Republic. Anyways, it had consuls, as well as a Senate. However, what it did not have was popular support, as it was a French puppet...

Exactly what it says on the tin. By Caesars time the Republic was rotting from wothin, nonetheless Caesar's coup and victory in the civil war was a fairly exceptional process which might well not be replicated. More significant IMHO is a (longer) independent Gaul (and possibly Egypt, although...

What if Carthage simply didn't exist? The Phoceanian traders and Dido (first queen of Carthage) didn't build Carthage or settle that area of North Africa (modern day Tunisia). What would the effects on the Mediterranean be without a Carthaginian trade power? Could a Rome as we know it even...

For whatever reason, Sextus Tarquinius decides not to rape Lucrece, thus keeping the Roman Monarchy around. What would happen?

Is there any chance for a revival of the Roman Republic at some point after the fall of the Roman Empire? If it's possible, how does such event affect Italian and European history?

Hello good people of alternate history gaining inspiration from the 1600 to infinity timeline I wish to start a collaborative timeline all non Asb posts welcome It was a rainy day when a roman spy tried to get out of the pro Antony/Egyptian camp. A camp patrol man walking near the spy's escape...

A lot of the time, when I search for "What if the Rom-" on Google, a lit is provided and it is typically "-an Republic never fell" or "-an Empire never fell", yet it doesn't autocomplete to "-an Kingdom", despite Rome originally having been a kingdom before it became a republic. Therefore...

Welcome, dear reader, to The Third Triumvirate: My first foray into the world of alternate history, or at least on this website! With a focus on the rise and fall of Rome, the intended stretch of time will be from 40 BC to the Renaissance. Also, I'd like to give credit to Ares96, (who in turn...

Hi guys! I have a question for you: How plausible is a republican renewal after Augustus? How probable is it to have a restoration of the Roman Republic during the Principate? And how can we achieve that? Some clarifications: I know that the Romans called their state res publica even during...

So I will have some free time in December and I have acquired some new books about the Roman Civilization and this gave some ideas for some possible TL's set in the Roman World. Solis Invicti et Manus ad Ferrum - Surviving Aurelian and a Rome with Sol Invictus as the main God of the Pantheon...

In OTL, Ptolemy XII Auletes, father of Cleopatra, was forced into exile after an Egyptian rebellion and his daughter Berenice IV became his successor. He would take back the Kingdom after paying Aulus Gabinius 10,000 talents to invade Egypt in 55 BC. But what if things was different? What if...

This is a timeline idea that has been on my mind for a quite a while. I am unsure about how often this will be updated, but I do hope that I can make more updates for this than my These United States timeline, as this one is covering centuries as opposed to decades. Please post any comments or...

Prelude: It all began with the Punic War (later called the First Punic War but most called it the Roman War or First Roman War) a struggle for more then 20 years (264 to 241 BC) between Carthage and the Roman Republic over the supremacy in Sicily. A great sea-power before the war in the western...

Alexander the Great's conquest of Persia was a rather unprecedented event. While the Macedonian phalanx was effective, it was nowhere near the sole factor contributing to the Macedonian king's success against the extremely wealthy, powerful Achaemenid Empire, which fielded a mixed-arms force...

How inevitable was it that Rome would become the dominant city in Italy? I don't refer to the First Punic War or even the Samnite Wars, but the very early period, 100-250 years after the founding of the city of Rome. Before the Republic, when the Etruscans still dominated the north. At this...

What if Spartacus had been born twenty years earlier, and the Third Servile War in Sicily occurred at the same time as the rebellion of the Italian Allies in the Social War?
