With a POD of 1453, you’r challenge is to have the Three Romes (Rome, Constantinople, and Moscow) be owned by a single empire all at the same time. Bonus points if this empire survives to the present day with the Three Romes inside it’s borders. So which countries would be the best cannidates...

What it says above. What happens if Sulla is comprehensively beaten.

The Dacian Wars (80's-100's AD) were one of the many wars, famous or obscure, fought by the romans in their drive for expansion. These in particular were fought against the Dacian tribes of modern-day Romania, led by the king Decebalus. As Domitian's reign followed through, Decebalus amassed a...

ΙCΑΡΝΟΝΑΡΙΟΙ The Lords of Iron - History of the Galatians and the Oikouménē where Hannibal defeated Rome - INTRODUCTION Ancient Gaul was for a long time a terra incognita, something that was barely worth mention except to highlight what Rome, the civilization, was. Strangely, it’s not...

Are there any one of the Greek city-states which can pull off what Rome did in OTL? And what are the best PODs for it to happen?

I made a map about a rebellion of the Romano-Gaulish population and "upper class" against their Frankish rulers, forming a kingdom which claimed to be the heir to Rome. This rebellion would happen sometime in the seventh century. The primary reason why I created this map was too see how the...

The Battle of Dara was a quite important battle during the Roman-Persian Iberian War, the Roman forces successfully repelled the Persian offensive, gave rise to Belisarius and eventually lead to a stalemate of the war, where Rome agreed on an "Eternal Peace" (that lasted 8 years) with Persia and...

Let's say that the plague that struck Emperor Valerian's army never happens. Let's say also, then, that with his legions at full strength, Valerian is able to defeat the Sassanids at Edessa, and drive them back into Persia for the time-being. What does the future of Rome look like with a...

OTL, there were large areas of the Roman Empire that could have supported Latin settlement, or developed their own Romance languages, but didn't. This includes broad areas like: England Northumbria/South Scotland/Between the Hadriatic and Antionne walls Vasconia Egypt Anatolia The Levant...

So, i once posted a thread about Roman emperor Licinius managing to defeat and kill Constantine at the Battle of Cibalae (314 AD), causing him to gain control of the whole empire and ultimately emerge victorious from the Civil Wars of the Tetrarchy. But, i'll posit another question for now...

Apparently the Romans are the only part of history I'm interested in writing about. Anyway, I still plan on pursuing the Annals of Aelius TL for 150 more years, but I may start a secondary/minor TL just so I have something else to do and I don't burn out from reading Tacitus and Suetonius over...

Other than Rome, are there any other cities that could rise from a city-state, to a large and expansive realm named after that city, all the while transitioning from a monarchy to a republic to an empire? The early period of the city should be full of mythologized drama and dominated by other...

What if Roman emperor Constantius III had lived beyond 421 AD, and managed to be recognized as emperor of both West and East? How much of the barbarian invasions could he stave off? Could Genseric's rise as warlord in North Africa be avoided? Would Constantius attempt to re-garrison Britain...

The Roman Empire of OTL is generally considered to have passed through two phases: the Principate and the Dominate. The former was (with a few exceptions) marked by a system of cooperation between the emperor and the senatorial elites. The emperor was mostly relegeated to military duties, and...

Been doing research on the late Empire, and Stilicho has fast become one of my favorite Roman generals of all time. After his assassination in 408, the WRE fell apart fast. Not saying he could've saved the West on his own, since many historians think it was a lost cause by this point, but is...

What if the awesomely-named king Perseus of Macedon, son of the previously defeated Philip V, had managed to successfully fight off the Romans at the Battle of Pydna (168 BCE), preserving the Macedonian hegemony over Greece and perhaps even expanding it? Would the stage be set for another, more...

Hi everybody, and welcome to my new timeline “From exile to triumph”, a story based on the roman emperor Julius Nepos and how he was able to reverte the destiny of his empire. Feel free to post any comment, suggestion or idea and please forgive me for any error you will find in the story or in...

What are your favorite Rome-screw scenarios? Basically, the ones in which Rome's supposed favour amongst the gods fails them at crucial moments in military and political history? Covering the period between the founding of Rome (753 BCE) and the fall of the city to Odoacer (476 AD). I'll throw...
