Get a copy of the Time's Historical Atlas, it has sufficient detail and great graphics to allow you to build your history. One thing you need to do is to have the Romans advance to the Vistula and Oder Rivers in Central Europe and to the Dneiper in the Ukraine. They must seize and hold the Carpathian Mountain Passes, and secure the Dobruga gap between the Carpathian Mountains and the Black Sea coast near the mouth of the Danube. Once they secure the Vistula Carpathians Gap in the North etc., they have secured access to the peninsula of Evropa, to use the Latin. Then you face the Huns, Avars, Kazakhs, etc., driving east into the Volga basin and on to the Urals gives you the vast open plains of Russia. the Ural Caspian Gap is the main danager geographically.
I thought that it looked a little off seeing that Rome founded in 753 AD, not 753 BC or -753 AD.
I take it in this Roman history that Jesus is little more than a historical footnote.
The Second major POD is the pardon of Germanicus.
The third and most critical POD is the discovery of Fulminata, gunpowder, in 98 AD. That came about due to a Roman trying to find the secret of Vulcan after the eruption of Vesuvius in the hopes of preventing any more Pompeii's or Herculanium's.
??rgr?mr, Shouldn't the AD dates from the founding of Rome up until "758 6 Rebellion in Pannonia" have negative AD years? For example, shouldn't the Founding of Rome be in -753 AD, not 753 AD?
