...One interesting question on the issue of a reconquest of Africa (the Roman term for the province in question) is what happens to the defeated Vandals...
Marcus Aurelius sent 5,000 Sarmatians to Britannia. How about sending the Vandals to Mesopotamia or Armenia?
Transportation would not even be difficult given the "Roman Armada" has not been sunk in this ATL.

Possible. When they were defeated OTL we see a number of them formed into regiments that were sent to fight in the East.
Not sure why Armenia though. For some reason that seems unlikely, but I can't put my finger on why.
Just imagine what it'll be like when I've finished my degree and I'm actually a proper expert on the matter...Anything with BG talking about Rome in it is not just a conversation.![]()

Armenia is an autonomous province of the Sassanids after the Armenian Rebellion won them religious freedom. Unless you wish to throw the vandals into a war with the Sassanids I would not suggest you try that.

You seem to know a lot about Rome. A piece of paper does not make you any more knowledgeable than you are already imo.
Isn't some part of the western part in Roman hands, or did that division get made later?
I know there's a period there was both Roman and Persian Armenia.
Still problematic if so, but just checking to make sure.
True, but a further two years of study, and exposure to more sources certainly does. When I started IE, I described myself as a "Byzantine enthusiast, not an expert". Hopefully, by the time I finish the TL and all its alterations and redraft parts of it, I will be a "Byzantine enthusiast and an expert."
