Here is a map I posted in the map thread a few weeks back:
My intention was a bit of a realistic long lasting Rome. None of the 'if it conquers Germania it conquers the world' stuff.
The exact borders of my map aren't important overall but it gives an impression of my thinking here....what if Rome went south?
IOTL there was a half hearted attempt on Arabia, an embarassing defeat in the desert, a smash and grab on Aden followed by a trip home. Nothing of too much historical note.
What if the Romans had expanded south and decided to stay?- Turning the Red Sea into another Mediterranian style Roman Lake.
How would more solid contacts with India, and by extension China, alter the world?
