Latin is still the language of court and government.What is/will be the status of Latin in Britannia and how deeply were the local Celtic languages influenced by it?

indeed, early christianity was very flexible. many 'christian' traditions had their origins in pagan rites!Early Christianity was definitely a different beast compared to Medieval Christianity - extremely flexible and capable of absorbing changes when neccesary to convert a people.
That very true we have the Anglo-Saxons Saxons invading they worship Wodan/Odin so there is a possibility of there culture mixing with the British-Romans. Also OTL England and Wales was influence by the invasions from Scandinavia which led to the adoption of the housecarl and there attitudes to warfare favouring heavy infantry over the cavalries of mainland Europe but that was also due to the mainland continent having superior horses. Another point to make that when the Romans left the British isles the population what's 5 million it didn't reach that number again until the rule of Edward the first of England.indeed, early christianity was very flexible. many 'christian' traditions had their origins in pagan rites!
indeed.

The 5million will likely be reached sooner TTL you would imagine.That very true we have the Anglo-Saxons Saxons invading they worship Wodan/Odin so there is a possibility of there culture mixing with the British-Romans.

It really does depend on the sequence of events.If the cultures that could be assimilated are Latin, Celts, Roman Britain, Anglo-Saxons, pics, Scotts, Irish, Norse and my be Normans and Franch depending on how history goes.

Societal collapse hasn't happened. I guess you could say the fall of rome.in Britannia ittl happened in a manageable format.There was no societal collapse yet so I'd be surprised if the population actually dropped to 4 million as of yet TTL, esp. If they manage to keep the Roman administration going
It's more of a theological timeline with theological pods spirnkled in. As with the case of any religion, it has aftereffects on the local politicsOk, I admit I'm not an expert of this time period, though so what exactly is the main POD that caused things to not end up like OTL?
It's a mixture of republican and monarchical rule. The kings and subkingdoms still exist and are very autonomous as evidenced by the fact that the king's armies pushed the Picts out. Kings can also become consuls. So really it's a mix. Not truly monarchical neither truly republican.Will Britannia call themselves Romans after the Western Empire falls? Also what effects will the new state among the beleaguered Romans on the continent? The pseudo return to Republican esp. might encourage some to try their luck rather than wait on the ineffective succession of Emperors.
A more nostalgic view of the Republican era? Stronger and more flexible Senate? Secession of Hispania along the Britannia lines without crowning a rival Emperor?hm, how do you guys think these events will affect the Western Roman Empire?
perhaps. usurpers ittl may like the prospect of an independent kingdom for their own,A more nostalgic view of the Republican era? Stronger and more flexible Senate? Secession of Hispania along the Britannia lines without crowning a rival Emperor?
I think the greatest example Britannia enshrines is the inability of Rome to provide protection and that territories have to take in into their own hands.
a mix of both.Will we have a situation with consoles will be regularly deposed at the same time we would also have leader who will be in power for decades. Or can the console be deposed by a vote of no confidence or his critical opposition can Ghana enough support to have them removed.
This makes no theological sense. The One begotten of the Father before all ages cannot be by definition greater than the One who his origin, they are of one in essence (homoousios) and as such Christ would while being a separate person be just as much God as the Father is God as the Holy Spirit is God. To reduce the Father in Stature is to reduce the Godhead to an Illogical morass.the Son was declared to be greater than the Father
