Re: Caesar supposedly having a plan to conquer Parthia, it's always worth remembering: Plutarch's Parallel Lives was a history-themed self-help book. Every biography was paired up with one Greek and one Roman and the two were compared, and Caesar is paired up with Alexander so we maybe shouldn't be entirely surprised that in a story which is being compared to Alexander we suddenly find that Caesar wants to conquer Persia. In fairness, Caesar's story in the book is one of the most "neutral", but it is the one that's about the uncle/father of the first Emperor, and the current Emperor's great-great-great-grandfather-in-law, so like all of Plutarch's writings you need to take it with a metric ton of salt for anything more than "second century romans probably thought this sounded right".

​@@primesonic4459 There's 25 pairs and we have all of them at least in part except for one pair. A lot of the pairs include one person who is "less famous", in the sense that you won't have heard of them unless you're really into greek and roman history beyond the stuff that usually gets covered (and that's probably why the pairing doesn't come up in casual reference). For example, Pompey is paired up with Dion, a tyrant who ruled Syracuse. There's a full list of pairs on Wikipedia but notable pairs are Theseus and Romulus, Phyrrus and Marius, and Lysander and Sulla.

@@fruitshuit, I definitely don't think Caesar wanted to conquer Parthia (because that would be ridiculous), but smacking them around a bit, taking some territory in northern Mesopotamia, and reclaiming the legionary standards that were lost at Carrhae would make some golden PR for him when he got back to Rome.

I feel like an "what if everything went perfectly for the Roman Empire" video HAS to start with Caesar surviving, conquering Dacia and then maybe obtaining a medium-level conquest of Persia. Not all of it, but I feel like Rome carving out mesopotamia early on would be both doable and MASSIVELY benefitial (and yes count me as one of the ones who think Hadrian not keeping it was a giant missed opportunity; give up Britain if you need to, it pales in comparison) as it would be a very rich province that would break the parthian trading monopoly (assuming the Romans built a fleet on the persian gulf), colossally weakening any threat from the persian plateau in the future, and further buffer the rich eastern provinces from any persian armies (who could now be much easier stopped in the first place if the romans properly anchor their defensives along the passes through the zagros mountains). From there, have Caesar (after returning to Rome and squashing any resurgent opposition) start the conquest of germania, die after attaining some great victory together with Antony, and have Octavian/Augustus have an easy time both in solidifying his control over Rome and finishing up the conquest up to the Elbe river and (thanks to Dacia) the Carpathian mountains as the Empire's permanent borders, live as long as he did IRL and settle the East militarily after Cleopatra and Caesarion "conveniently" fall out of a window/choke on a fish bone. Oh, and have one of his grandsons survive so that the state keeps being well-led for at least a generation after the first princeps dies. No empire lasts forever, but with the northern borders more secure (with the Rhine and Danube now acting as secondary lines if any force breaches the Elbe/Carpathian lines), the persians weakened and contained on the other side of the Zagros (and poorer without the eastern trade monopoly), and without the massive civil wars that Rome faced IRL after Caesar's death (there'd still be some off course, but not on the scale of 43-30 BC), the Empire is set pretty good to have an even better 1st and 2nd centuries AD than it had in our timeline.

I think it would affect the religious landscape too, with Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism more present in Rome, and a very different christianity in territorial terms. Maybe the gnostics could be more perilous in this timeline. And maybe Christianity expands up to Persia, if the Empire still becomes Christian. No England too, in this timeline, unless something crazy still happens.

Caesar wasn't actually that bad of a leader. He made numerous reforms that benefitted the people of Rome, he was incredibly magnanimous towards his rivals (although that was more for practical reasons than idealistic ones), and his time as Dictator was the most stable time in the Roman Republic since the 1st Servile War up until the founding of the Empire under Augustus. What a lot of people didn't like about Caesar was that he basically tried to fashion himself as a king in all but name, and made it pretty obvious. That was something Augustus was much smarter in handling.

I tend to find a lot of what-ifs pretty masturbatory, especially given how unpredictable history can be; like no-one would have guessed Caesar's Great Nephew would have become the First Roman Emperor, likewise no-one could have predicted an Arabic Merchant would form what would become the second largest Religion in the world. You even often find times where genuinely capable leaders fuck-up like Harald Godwinson who otherwise up to losing to William the Conqueror succeeded in nearly endeavour he took up in life. So perhaps Caesar could have succeeded in wide scale campaigns, or perhaps a random arrow would take his life, who knows; in some alternative timeline we'd be asking what would have happened if Caesar was assassinated, we'd never be able to predict it's outcome.

nature of the what-of fun exercises. At the end of the day, its just a bit of fun paired with some historical exploration, and it shouldn't be taken too seriously. More than anything, its simply a tool for story telling. Just look at how Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkreig utilises their what-if. Its absolutely "masturbatory" how good the Reichspakt went and how poorly the Entente went (given the syndies), however it creates great gameplay and story telling potential.

What if the Romans invented the printing press (and had access to the supply chain of it) 1. It would be make Rome much more linguistically unified, reducing the various Roman dialects. 2. It would be much more culturally unified as well. 3. It would make the empire deeply integrated in an economic and military sense. 4. The empire would be more enlightened due to lack of dialects and how information can be more widespread with ease. 5. The empire might not have crumbled like in our timeline and might also live into the modern day.

It's not unlikely that with increased trade between the two, some of these ideas, and maybe some of the actual devices, would have made their way to Rome, where they would probably find greater sucess in, given that the romans lacked the cultural reverence towards caligraphy that was present in China, meaning they probably would have been more willing to work with the idea.

I think there was a time when Byzantium and the Sassanids could have been "friends" during Justinian's time. If I remember correctly the future king of the Sassanids was living in the court of Constantinople when Justinian was there and the Romans offended him and his family something fierce and that probably lead to war later on. So an interesting timeline would be: What if Justinian and Khosrow became friends during his stay in Constantinople? It's not far fetched and it would have changed history a lot since the Sassanid/Byzantine war was a big reason Islam could conquer so much of their lands. Also it would surely help Justinian in his western Rome conquests as well

2:35 Yeah, no. Trajan had quite a hard time in Dacia. And it wasnt even at its peak. The peak was during the reign of Burebista. Around the same time as Caesar. Emperor Domitian had a terrible time in Dacia, losing badly to the point of paying tribute to Dacia. He also made a route through the mountains around the Danube which you can visit today by snorkeling. Anyway, with the money from the Romans, the Dacians fortified their Davas (city) and made alliances with the Stepps nomads. Then in the second Dacian war, they razed the whole province of Moesia superior. The entire province. Don't be fooled by Roman propaganda, the Dacian wars were very hard fought. Its terribly underrated and very sad how little people know about these magnificent ancient people.

That's actually proper latin. Rather than the new pronunciation used by the church. Caeser is pronounced Kaiser.

I don't want a realistic depiction of Caesar not being assassinated, I want to revel in the perfection of what could have been. Would Arminius have been captured and adopted? Would the Illyrian rebellion happen? Could Germania have been pacified under Augustus?

I feel like the question of the initial assassination should be explored, and determined, more thoroughly before you can really explore the rest. If the plot never happens, what then happens with Brutus and the other cospirators? Do they live normal lives from then on, how do Brutus and Octavian interact and does this possibly influence Octavian's relations with Caesar's biological child in Egypt? If the plot happens but fails the dacian and partian campaigns would surely be delayed, maybe not by much but maybe for enough time that the dacians have sorted their own stuff out in relation to the assassineted king and are therefore a tougher challenge, therefore delaying the parthian campaign further. At that point perhaps Caesar dies in Parthia, being older and the Parthians being a very different enemy from the forests of Gaul and the hills of the Balkans.

I have a video idea and i have absolutely no idea if it would even be possible for this to happen, but the idea is: "What if Austria had remained a small german state/ What if Austria hadn't become an empire."

Please please please do this idea 🙏 Instead of what if Germany kept trying, what if France kept trying? War of 1871, France loses Alsace Lorraine World War One, France’s loses Nancy and the land surrounding it along with areas around geneva and dunkirk World War Two, France loses lillie and land up to arras and the surrounding plains World war three, France loses the Lorraine plateau, French alps, and its autonomy

What if, by some miracle, Caesar managed to survive his assassination and make a "full" recovery("full" as in you can decide how full)? This question assumes everything went exactly as in our timeline, but with the exception that Caesar managed to live.

I'm thinking the lack of support at home, the recent hostilities in the Black Sea, and the example set by Crassus in Parthia would have kept him from accomplishing too much, really. The Parthian cavalry would have torn him apart. He wouldve become bogged down in Germania or the Black Sea region. EDIT- And Agrippa clearly didn't want to be emperor, otherwise he would have made a move. This might have made him a perfect candidate.
