What if despite still being ambushed and stabbed by a mob of senators, Caesar clings to life, nursed back to health in seclusion by loyalists? What would the fallout be of a few months of instability as people are unsure of what is going on, rumours spread about his assassination and supposed...

Julius Caesar had a daughter who named Julia Caesaris. She was married off to Pompey, and they had a very happy and loving marriage together despite the large age difference between the two. She died in 54 BC while she was pregnant, with the gender of the child being unknown. Pompey and Caesar...

What if instead fighting each other Caesar and Pompey set aside their differences and invade Parthia in order to avenge their friend Crassus ? They 15 legions they used against each other in their OTL civil war. what will be the result ?

Gaius Julius Caesar was born in 100 BC the final century of the Roman Republic. these were troubled times the grand power which had emerged as top dog of the Mediterranean was now succumbing to rot. At its foundations rising economic inequality, the consolidation of power and the deterioration...

Had Caesar been warned of the plot, resulting of course in his survival, what would have happened with Cleopatra and Caesarion? Also i assume him finding out about the plot would obviously temporarily delay his attack on Dacia and Parthia Also now i have strayed from the purpose of the thread...

"It has often been said that history is a series of gambits and ambitions, of men and women seizing the day and driving forth through impossible circumstances to carve works of art, vast political dynasties, and even entire moral and philosophical systems that have affected us for thousands of...

In a POD after the 3rd Punic War but before the ascension of Julius Caesar to Dictator for Life, get the Roman Republic to fragment into several pieces. Is this feasible?

While it's been gestating ever since I took my first Latin class in high school, recent events have convinced me to make good on that interest and study up on Classical Civilization. Given the myriad achievements of the ancient Greeks and Romans--from inventions like the Antikythera mechanism...

The Battle of the Vosges was one of the first battles that Ceasar fought in his Gallic campaign, with the background that Ariovistus commanded the Germans who had settled on the west bank of the Rhine, accepting a call for help from the Sequani and Averni tribes against the Aedui. Ariovistus...

During the Siege of Alexandria (47 BC), Julius Caesar attempted to seize the island of Pharos and gain control of the royal harbor, but was defeated on land and forced to retreat; during the ride back to the palace, his boat capsized and, being in full armor, Caesar started to sink. IOTL, it was...

What if Caesar was never assassinated, what if his planned campaigns to take over Dacia and Parthia actually happened, that is the question of this thread. Please remain polite and attentive to other people ideas, no politics.

Some time before the Battle of Dyrrachium, Julius Caesar attempted to sail across the Adriatic so that he could bring reinforcements to Greece. But due to hostile weather, he failed, and only made it back alive through luck. What if Caesar had drowned in this attempt?

I've been thinking how republicanism and democratic ideals have burned brightly for millennia, and how of course many of us would die to keep that flame from being extinguished. However, what if the dictatorial and tyrannical rule of kings had restarted, reversing the glorious Roman Revolution...

OTL, Julius Ceasar was a semi-obscure governor and general, who conquered most of gaul' major areas, and all of Britainia. He was extremely popular with his men and Rome as a whole, but he never was able to go for a second consulship, as he was killed in an expedition to Caeledonia. Britannia...

What if the cunning Octavian, later known as Augustus, had succumbed to disease before he could begin exerting influence over Roman politics after his granduncle Caesar died? What would be the short and long term consequences of Rome’s first true emperor becoming a footnote? One immediate...

At the Battle of Carrhae, Marcus Licinius Crassus suffered a catastrophic defeat at the hands of the Parthian general known to history as Surena. Crassus lost most of his army, his son Publius, and his life. The survivors of the battle limped back to Roman Syria under the command of Gaius...
