You can choose any POD from the founding of Rome to the fall of the western empire.
  • Is a surviving Rome with no core territories outside of Europe too unrealistic?
  • What polities could arise to ensure Rome is confined to these territories?
  • Could any political, cultural, or religious beliefs arise in Roman history that would justify not controlling territory outside of Europe?
Bonus: Assuming that Rome manages to maintain these borders to the modern day, how assimilated would the empire be?

Note - Rome is still allowed to have overseas colonies, so long as they are not in the non-European portions of the Mediterranean.
