I really like these two ideas.

Tiberius Gracchus is more successful in carrying out his reforms
 Julian doesn’t die in his Sassanid Campaign

Julian the Apostate surviving would be particularly interesting, since a longer reign by him would have serious religious ripples, like a weaker Christianity in the West for the short to mid-term, and a longer surviving paganism, particularly those of the cults. Then you have the joys of the many heresies of the church coming up due to the Nicene Creed coming along.

Maybe it's a good idea to do this poll in two rounds (i.e. a second round after this one between the two options most people have voted on), because now I want to vote for Aurelian not dying, but if other options get more votes and it turns out hardly anyone wants to do that one, I'd like to vote for Julian not dying or Philip the Arab being Christian.
Good suggestion? This way, the votes of people who vote for eventually less popular options don't get "lost".

I just linked the poll into the original thread, since there may be people following who haven't found/seen the poll yet. Give it until tomorrow, I say. Then either have a second round or accept the first past the post, I don't mind either option.

Wait, would Gracchus' successful reforms hamper Roman expansion?

The thing about Tiberius Gracchus POD is that his reforms were passed-although he was killed, his reforms weren't-watered down yes, but passed. Same for Gaius Gracchus-the equestrian publicani were his creation, as were equestrians on the court (among other reforms that stuck).

Why is that? does a more powerful rome not appeal to you? :p

I for one support seeing an independent Gallic Empire eventually take hold of Gaul and beat back most of the Germanic hordes later on. Also there'd be no principate if Gracchus suceeds in his reforms, right?

Ah well. At least if Christianity is butterflied from both PODs I'll be fine here.
