So, basing this off a LOT of assumptions and might or might not involve handwaves.....BUT....
What if the White Huns, or the Hephthalite Empire as they're also known as, managed to subdue Sassanid Persia in much the same way Attila was able to stomp over the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, during there invasions and forays into the Persian nemesis of the Romans?
And, what if Attila managed to become emperor of the Romans through his marriage to Honoria (or somehow becomes aligned to the Romans) and manages to live longer, until he is able to consolidate his rule? That way, the Hunnic empire becomes part of the Roman Empire, along with all the goths, vandals, and other barbarians that would cause the downfall of the WRE. Also, the Roman Empire just got boosted to unseen heights of strength in land, wealth, and power (because Huns!). So, with the Sassanids dead, Islam butterflied away, and a revitalized Roman Empire, how would this world proceed? Also, Aeitus lives in this TL! Even better!
Or is this just too crazy?
Go!
