What is this?
This is a short timeline that asks the question "What would have happened if HIV/AIDS had spread to humans around the time the Roman Republic was founded?"
Sounds..umm...fun.
Hopefully it will be interesting. I'm hoping that the social and political effects will be interesting.
Won't the world change so much that by the time of AIDS reaches Rome the world is unrecognizable?
I will be putting up a butterfly net, so that until AIDS reaches a region history stays the same as OTL.
Don't you already have a timeline you're working on?
Yes, but I have writer's block on that TL and I'm hoping this will get my creative genius flowing.
So is this timeline only a week long?
Maybe not, but it will end after two or three weeks. I plan to update it every few days.
Do you like having a conversation with yourself?
Why of course. Napoleon IV is the most interesting Napoleon I've ever come across.
