Yeah, it's very well written and researched.I honestly can't recommend The Scales enough.

They are gonna happen a little bit late. It should happen right around when Pompeius gets back.One of the things that normally we think is that Gaul organized resistance ended with the victories of Caesar in Gaul.
In fact the gauls protagonized a serie of revolts/rebellions in OTL after the death of Vercingetorix.
So is good that this update remembers us this fact.
Reading this update I remember also the other focus of problems in the Roman Conquests in the Western Mediterranean.
Are the Cantabri Wars happening like OTL in Hispania?
...How do the Legions and legionaries take these streamlining measures? Any unrest? Are the newly released all settled where their respective legions were (as with Cyrenaica), or elsewhere within the republic?
Well written! It seems you consider Augustus' principate as a solution without any alternative. I agree, that a restoration of the old-style republic was impossible and not beneficial, but I would like to read your ideas about an improved structure of the principate. A constitution and administrative and military structure, which could perhaps better prevent the big political plague of the principate: usurpations.
So far Pompeius seems to become a 2nd Augustus. Which is very realistic. But he and the senate of this time had the chance to do it better!
Some historians say, that the Fall of the Roman Empire started with Augustus, and they are not that wrong![]()
Another GREAT update. Thank you for it on behalf of the rest of your subscribers.
I hail your idea of bringing the Gauls into the management and administration of the Empire earlier than OTL it can only yield positive results for the Empire IMCO.

Looking good as ever, Sly.
The only gripe I have is a seemingly absent footnote (about Scaurus).
GoodieAh, just caught that. Thanks for pointing it out, I fixed it.![]()
Thanks. Though mostly everything I did with Gaul was actually done OTL between 25-22 BC.
