AHC: Emperor Domitius Alexander of North Africa-Sardinia
I recently came upon the interesting figure of Emperor Domitius Alexander who ruled North Africa and Sardinia between 308-311. Other than the short wiki bio, I do have one book on this period that mentions him briefly. It seems he was allied to Constantine in his war against Maxentius in Italy. He had a pretty strong navy that allowed him to take Sardinia and block grain shipments from Egypt. However his land army was weak and was said to have relied on Berber conscripts. Ultimately Alexander was defeated by an invading army loyal to Maxentius at Carthage. He then fled to Cirta where he was captured and killed.
Your challenge is for Alexander's empire to survive as a break off state. What does Alexander need to do differently? What events outside Alexander's control need to come about?
