DBWI: Emperor Nero was killed by the asassins in 816 AUC

TTl Emperor Nero brought a golden age upon the roman installing his brother Maximian as Basileus of Persia and sponsoring the hellenic arts, and roman culture. He also gave the Jews public support and officialized their religion provided they worshiped the emperor. The governor of judea, and self-proclaimed king of the Jews; Yeshua agreed. With his help the Pontificate Maxima was made a seperate office than emperor, and he used religious power to cast unworthy members out of the Hellenic religion, which made everyone hate them(basically). He also ensured the Julio-Claudian dynasty survived as Imperators of Rome until the crisis of the 5th century, when the Germanic dynasty de Merohingi became emperors starting with Theodoric who destabilized the empire and basically ensured it's collapse.

Assassinated? What do the Assassins, a perfectly peaceful hashish-producing guild in Nabataea, have to do with this?
Well there was another secret society during the roman time period also coincidentally called the assassins led by the most competent military general, and some senators, and whenever an Emperor was growing to powerful, or popular he mysteriously dissapeared. Modern historians attribute this to that assassins and say any emperor who died like this was "assassinated"

Oh yeah, the Hidden Ones, the guys who apparently also murdered Caesar.

Look, man, don't listen to those Roman elitists, as a citizen of Germany Inferior it annoys me too. Even the Emperor had largely moved away from old script in correspondence with other sovereigns, like the First Citizen of Hindustan. Let's not be a Language Renewalist here.
 
IF Emperor Nero had been killed in 816 AUC then I agree the immediate outcome would have been chaos and confusion. Probably one of the imperial generals would eventually have restored order and taken over. Vespasianus seems the most likely candidate, and I think he would have done a good job.

But this POD creates some fascinating butterflies. One of the most curious is that the Emperor's third wife, Sabina Augusta, would have remained a man. For we tend to forget that the Empress Sabina, commonly called Sabina II to distinguish her from his second wife, Poppaea Sabina Augusta, was born male, and a slave, and was only transformed into a woman in 820 by the Emperor's command to replace his beloved Poppaea because she resembled her so much.
(Historians still dispute whether the conversion was merely forced by the Emperor, or was by her own wish as well. At any rate she seems to have made a success of bringing up his then three children until her untimely death ten years later.) But if the Emperor had been killed in 816 Sabina wouldn't have been converted and would have remained the freedman, Sporus!
 
While that is true I believe if he was killed by the Hidden Ones the Julio Claudian line would have gone extinct without any heirs. The generals would then fight over the remains and probably split the empire into the empire of Egypt which would be ruled by Yeshua(completly roman and hellenic, as was the condition for his power.) which would be modern judea, irag mesopoatamia and egypt. Empire of greece which would be modern greece antioch turkey and armenia ruled by Julius Hermeticus(Greek and Hellenic, not roman.) Empire of Carthage ruled by Helvetius Carthago who was hellenic and roman, whoch would be north africa spain and southern italy, and Empire of gaul ruled by Widukind Germanicus partly german and roman and partly germanic pagan and hellenic which would be northern italy and rome and germany inferior gaul and France(britain).
