Having drawn inspiration from the Timeline The Emperor Who Lost His Nose; The Magnificent Rhinotmetos, I'm creating a Timeline on the wiki titled Age of Glory. The Roman Empire is reformed under Justinian, and holds onto Italy. However, unlike Sargon's Timeline, mine stretches to present-day, detailing how Rome's survival effects the world, and other minor POD's.
I'm in debate with a few people on the wiki who consistently veto any creative idea I have. Yes, there's a need for possibility, but when creativity is always shunned, it gets boring. Which is why I'm also inquiring here.
My first question is: will Rome ever become the capital of Romania? The people there say no, not ever, because Constantinople was far more wealthy and powerful blah blah blah...which I can understand-to an extent.
Rome was basically Rome's Detroit until the early-late Renaissance. So naturally, Constantinople would be first choice. But-this is the Roman Empire, Rome is it's historic capital, and well, they're Romans. I'm fairly certain that using the wealth of the newly stable empire, the reigning dynasty would have made an attempt to bring back glory to Rome, and eventually make it the capital once again.
So, could it have been restored as capital? Or are the extremely-negative-uncreative-people correct, and Rome won't ever be the centre of Rome?
