OK, this is a 'refined' version of my previous thread. I'll give more extensive background to support our discussion.

Here goes: how can Byzantine Empire and Sassanid Persia form a mutual and close alliance that at some point, they'll willingly unite the two empires into a gigantic joint-ruled domain, or a "co-dominium". Islam is butterflyed away in this TL, somehow.

Next, how such alliance affected the world history? Will there be an analog of Tordesillas where Byzantine got the West while Persia got East? Would the tech progress faster than OTL?

Anyway, Codominium is series of stories done by Jerry Pournelle, in which the US and a revitalized USSR form an alliance and then, a unity called Codominium which dominates the world for a hundred years.
It didn't end well though.

Thanks and please respond!
