The Roman Empire is the closest thing we have to lasting hegemony over most of Europe. From 1CE till about 337CE, one empire controlled much of Europe although there were some periods of disunity.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476CE, other leaders have tried to reestablish hegemony over Europe. None succeeded except very briefly.
Of the various leaders and PoDs, which one had the highest chance to establish Roman Empire levels of hegemony over much of Europe and lasting at least several decades?
For all choices, I list the leader and the year he began his reign or began consolidating power as PoD.
Note that the conquest of most of Europe does NOT have to be completed by the leader in the PoD. It can be completed by successors. The PoD is just the starting point.
Also note that highest chance does not mean likely. For instance if PoD A has a 10% chance and all others have 1%, then pick PoD A.
Also I would be curious if people can rank the different PoDs from highest to lowest chance.
