     From Hadrian's Wall in Britannia to the watery city of Constantinople, Rome was a major empire. But in 476, the western half of the empire collapsed. In 1453, the eastern half collapsed too, ending the Roman Empire.      It was 1994. In the city of Rome, a young boy named Mario was a plumber, volunteering for different companies. But in school, his lesson on the Roman Empire changed his life forever.      Mario ran for president in 2024, hoping to restore Italy to its glory days. Will he restore Caesar's dream? Or will he lead the nation to collapse? Find out when Episode 1 of Mario's Empire comes out this Sunday, on the United States of Enotita government blog.       Note: I am officially closing the door on my old blog, mariofromnintendo.blogspot.com . However, I am transplanting its remains to this blog. Plus, the old blog will still be available if you want to check it out. This will be related to the old Kingdomi...

We all know that Julius Caesar was assassinated on March 15, 44 BCE. But what if that never happened?  What’s up guys, it’s Emperor Augustus II of the OttoRoman Empire. We'll cover a speculative timeline from 44 BCE to 15 BCE. Without further ado, let’s go.  So, in real life, Marcus Brutus, Gaius Cassius, and many other people conspired to kill Caesar. But in this timeline, they changed their minds last minute and decided to support him in ruling Rome as a dictator for life. Caesar and the conspirators had a real meeting, with the conspirators not revealing any daggers.  The Second Triumvirate of Mark Antony (Marcus Antonius), Gaius Octavian, and Marcus Lepidus was formed to avenge Caesar by declaring war on Brutus and Cassius. However, if Caesar didn’t die, there would be no Second Triumvirate. Instead, Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus would’ve just been three normal supporters of Caesar.  Caesar’s first conquest would’ve been Scotland. Rome never took Scotland...

Hey guys! If you read my post “What if Julius Caesar was Never Killed,” you would know that I assumed that he would’ve selected Augustus as heir. But I also said that there were other options. Let’s check them out.  The next option would be Mark Antony. Let’s assume that he still fell in love with the queen of Egypt, Cleopatra. After taking the throne in 14 BCE, Antony divided the empire into the Antonian Empire in the West, ruled by Antony from Rome, and the Cleopatranic Empire, ruled by Cleopatra from Egypt. Thus, Egypt would’ve been a very powerful Roman province. Because of this, Constantine would’ve been content with Egypt as the Eastern capital, not moving it to Constantinople (aka Byzantium, Istanbul, or whatever you call it.) So Mark Antony would’ve prevented Constantinople from being a powerful city.  Another option would be Ptolemy XV Caesar. He was Julius Caesar’s son with Cleopatra. (Her father was one of the last rulers of Ptolemy.) He probably would’ve ...
