Does anyone have any good links to info on the Egyptian Civil War pre-Pompey's arrival in Egypt?
“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed least Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

Hmmm. Interesting. I forgot about budget/money problems. I'm not sure if he would be able to curb foreign assistance much at all though. The tempering and controlling of the arrogance of officialdom I (hope) I got Cicero to do all he could on it, and the last one I'm not too familiar with to say whether it could be done or not.
If you can give me some suggestions with how to go about some of those things mentioned in the quote, it would be much appreciated.![]()
Any hint on where do you want to go with this?like expansions, wars with Persia,...
Excerpt From Adrian Goldsworthy's "Pompey-Life of A Collossus" [1][1] He actually wrote "Caesar: Life of A Collossus" but since Caeasr lost, I turned it into a book about Pompey.
ehm, the butterflies not only have kicked him out of existence, but also England.
I don't see how the butterflies would kick England out of existence. The Romans would still at some point (if not during the longer lasting republic, than during the empire when it comes around) take at least what they had in OTL. The resources there, as well as protecting Gaul from raids from British tribes, would almost surely compel them to take it eventually.
And I'm not sure if the butterflies are big enough to prevent the Saxons from coming on the scene in Britain (albeit later than IRL)
