That was quite the update! Constantly do you up the ante Errrng. Though I may need to go back an update or two to fully understand the situation...
The situation of a foreign king actually lending such a sizeable military aid to an exiled ruler, is it something that actually happened OTL?
I mean, i know i have seen it more than once in historical-ish fiction, and i am not questioning it happened, but i don't know if it was actually a normal occurrence.
Great update as always, it's obvious you really enjoy writing certain characters!

Well off the top of my head, Maurice sent a Roman army to put the exiled Sassanid ruler Khosru on the Sassanid throne. The Ptolemies and Seleucids also did this to each other at times.The situation of a foreign king actually lending such a sizeable military aid to an exiled ruler, is it something that actually happened OTL?

It happened in history more often that you'd think
Also, I'd like to thank willbell and Widikund for nominating this timeline for the Best Continuing Ancient TL Turtledove. I greatly appreciate the honor

It is well deserved.
There's also the Persians trying to put an old Athenian king back on the throne at the time of the Battle of Marathon.
Yeah, and there are various examples throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
Unfortunately it's true. Ideas/ inspiration has run dry, so hopefully we shall see more Scales when it comes back.
I'm still interested in what happens down the line that creates this BE calendar...

Why don't you try looking up some stuff on Ancient China and India? I think someone like you could do some hilarious shit with those two areas.
Except for a similar POD that does not lead to the Battle of Allia and the Sack of Rome, which still somehow weakens the Romans in the long run...
This is truly sad as I no longer have this timeline to really look forward to. It was a great ride Errrng, thanks for the travels in the world of an aborted Rome!
