Now, I know regaining any claims to the Macedonian Empire from the Roman Republic isn't going to happen, but what would his life actually look like?
While probably ineligible for the nobility or to hold office (I believe) my thinking was for him to become an officer fighting in the Third Samnite Wars, possibly leading troops who immigrated from his father's former armies out of loyalty (how many Macedonian and/or Persian troops might migrate to fight for Alexander IV) and marrying into the nobility and producing heirs who might one day form an Imperial Republic or some type of Constituional Monarchy a la Caesar...
Is it possible and if so, what might happen?
