Hey, alternatehistory.com forums I stumbled on here a few days ago and finally got my account verified. I saw that the people posted here were pretty cool and was wondering what people thought of the following:
What if...
1) Rome kept Trajans eastern conquests, and Augustus and Tiberius succeeded in moving the Western Empire's border to the Elbe. (I'm aware you might need to alter the world's geography a bit to make this plausible.)
2) When the western Empire collapsed, rather then the invading barbarians, it are the native Romano-Celts and similar who come out on top and assimilate the invaders?
