Indeed. Though it's outlook is still better than it was for most of the 5th century BCE, where at one point Sabines occupied the Capitoline...If Rome suck its finger in the death clock, I don't think the outlook would be so good.
What a coincidence...I didn't know that was the siege of Masada but its fitting.Also this is inadvertent but I smiled a bit at the picture of the siege of Masada being used. Rome obviously won't see such a great triumph over a foreign enemy ITTL. Although it does make me wonder how the Jews will be effected down the road....
Gracias.Good update.
