In the year 619, Byzantine Emperor Heraclius intended to move the Empire's capital from Constantinople to Carthage - he agreed not to after a plea from the Patriarch of the Church.

What if Heraclius had decided to move the capital anyway? Does western Africa become Christian? Spain remains Visigothic? The Balkans firmly Muslim? Catholic or Muslim Russia?

The PoD wasn't my idea, by the way; it came from GURPS Alternate Earths 2 - but it is presented as just the PoD, with no/little elaboration.
