  1. The First Voyage of Erik the Red: Vinland
    Threadmarks: Exile and Exploration: 1

    898 CE: Gunnbjorn Ulfsson and crew sight coast of Hrossvaland (Greenland) after their longship is blown west of Iceland. They do not land. 978 CE: Snaebjorn Galti completes first colonization effort of Hrossvaland, giving the island its name due to the abundance of “horses of the sea” or...

  2. The First Voyage of Erik the Red: Vinland

    Just yet another person taking a poke at a more permanent settlement of the Norse in North America. As in OTL the Greenland colonies were by dint of geography and climate abandoned as being fairly terrible places to settle given the lack of biodiversity and resources that worsened during the...

  3. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    Indeed, that’s why I would believe a situation such as in Germania and Armenia would occur with Latinized Britons adopting aspects of the Roman culture. Probably focused on the main tribes that trade with the Romans. Leading to a certain amount of side eyeing by those tribes further away from...

  4. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    Hah! I need a map where England is in place of Normandy.

  5. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    Caesar did it when he invaded the second time.

  6. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    The Romans did enforce tribes to become clients with them or at least accept peace terms that favored them on tribes across the Rhine without directly ruling them.

  7. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    I mean in terms of the future. Right around the POD that is the case but as we have seen the development will eventually lead to the small tribes banding together and merging and eventually becoming larger entities. Perhaps the outside pressure of the Romans even leads to an earlier unified...

  8. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    One could see a sort of factionalism eventually forming between Pro-Latin and Anti-Latin tribes and groups on the islands eventually. It wouldn’t be far fetched to say the Legions would return and put a Pro-Latin King on the Throne of a large tribe or kingdom or whatever forms. This could at...

  9. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    How are things in Texas? It appears to have come out of the whole war the least damaged of the Confederacy

  10. Colonization of Australia with a Maori dominated Australia

    To be fair, wasn’t the cause of that given to the more limited geography and resources of living on an island? Enslavement probable but cannibalism on the continent less likely

  11. Colonization of Australia with a Maori dominated Australia

    Well that’s why they land in…Australia. What’s better, Northeastern Australia. Plenty of trees there to keep building their ocean going. The ocean going boats of the Vikings for example brought over cattle and horses to Iceland. And the Bali and Banteng cattle was known to have been...

  12. Colonization of Australia with a Maori dominated Australia

    We know the Polynesians at least brought with them pigs, chicken and dogs as far East as Hawaii so those could definitely make the trip to Australia with little ATL intervention. And we know cattle and sheep were introduced to Australia proper well enough in OTL (cough Australian Cattle/Sheep...

  13. Colonization of Australia with a Maori dominated Australia

    Was thinking on if this could have been a plausible scenario. New Caledonia in the Melanesian islands was colonized by the Lapita culture around the 1300 BCish timeframe and after that to the East the more classical Polynesian island of Fiji was colonized around 900 BC. What if instead...

  14. The Gallican Empire: Rome Survives in Gaul

    Thanks. Right now I’m trying to brainstorm ideas for the next update.

  15. What if Shapur I actually conquers the Roman East during the Crisis of the 3rd Century?

    I would say they would be on equal footing more or less with Christianity and Judaism. Though it’s the one that gets State Backing that would rise above the others. There is of course precedent with the state worship of the Empire but we do also see a moving trend of the Emperors to establish a...

  16. Developing Two Different Third Century Crisis Scenarios

    *CoughCough* My scenario revolves around Gallienus getting an arrow to the eye and Claudius and Aurelian being unluckily betrayed and beaten by Postumus. Leading to a decentralized version of the Roman Empire.

  17. What if Shapur I actually conquers the Roman East during the Crisis of the 3rd Century?

    My own view of a West Rome disjointed from its more eastern halves takes it that Christianity primarily becomes a faith of the Greek-speaking Romans - at which point in the Third Crisis the majority of the religion was confined to. Sol Invictus though was a project mainly embarked on by...

  18. The Gallican Empire: Rome Survives in Gaul
    Threadmarks: Map of the Gallic Empire and its vassals CE 268 / 1021 AUC

    Here is a map displaying the breakdown of the "Gallic Empire" and its vassal states. Following Postumus' negotiations of peace between the share of the Roman Empire he ruled (from de jure in Rome but de facto ran from Lugdunum in Gallia Lugdunensis) and the other "Dux" that he "named" in the...

  19. Earliest Possible Collapse Of The Byzantines?

    Quite a few PODs of course. Would likely lead to an Islamic Eastern Europe and Russia. Bulgars and Slavs advancing earlier and further into the Balkans. Would it further divide the early Church or would it lead to a great consolidation under Rome? ussia

  20. Earliest Possible Collapse Of The Byzantines?

    I wonder if Constans II’s death at the Battle of the Masts would do it as it would leave his only issue being his 4 year old son Constantine IV which would lead to the usual bout of Succession Crisis. Especially if say the Arabs are able to follow up on it with an immediate siege of Constantinople?
