So I've been thinking of doing a TL (the Naples one is pretty abandoned due to lack of knowledge of the period, lack of willingness to research the period, and lack of motivation to draw about twenty thousand family trees) about the Late Republic; I feel that TL's featuring Caesar the Dictator, or Pompey the Leader, or even Antony and Caesarion and Augustus, are a bit overdone (plus, I don't think I can top slydessertfox and Velasco in that area), and anything to do with Marius and Sulla, or before, has too few sources/I don't know much about that time period (plus, I KNOW I can't top tuareg109).
So, I was thinking of one in which Catilina succeeds in his attempted revolution; a major POD would be Caesar joining him (though Caesar wasn't fond of such drastic moves as generally cancelling all debt, I'm sure he can pull some political move out of his ass; he was fond of doing that). With both having popularity (Catilina with Sulla's veterans and Caesar with Rome's common people), the Senate could easily be swept away, right?
More efficient governance of the provinces and more devolution/rights for the Italians to come? Yes? No?
