[QUOTE="ergeheilalt, post: 967049, member: 3460"] This will be a bit of guess work but ... If Carthaginian Empire is still around, there would probably be sporadic wars between them are Rome. With the Romans effectively cut off from expanding southward, they would probably go westward in modern day France, but stop short of the strait between England and France. If you really want Rome to expand, they may have discovered/stolen magic from the Greeks or Egyptians that allows them to cross the Rhine (the on of the reasons German Barbarians were left alone by the Romans. Rome would probably not have the great leagions it one had (with a noticeable lack of slaves from Spain and North Africa - Tower Shields and the gladus (sp) might not exist or could be very unusual due to lack of demand. The Coliseum would probably not have been built unless Rome had in fact had become a great empire. Although, if it were the various types of gladiators would make for some fun PCs. If the Babylonians eliminated Judah, they would probably still be in the region, with the Greeks being in the way of an Roman advances into the region. Again, you are a little unclear as far has how advanced the Greeks have progressed in their own empire (did they eliminate the Persian threat in the Eastern Mediterranean - if so, they are in they would replace the Babylonians.) The Babylonians (or Persians) would be the only people with land trade-routes to the Far East and would probably be a fairly rich society. The Egyptians would be a very old empire, with a fairly long history and would have earned the respect of it's neighboring countries. In the skirmishes between Rome and The Carthaginians, there would always be the vying for Egypt's support - as being a powerful ally with the possible access to magic. Egypt - being along the eastern coast of Africa would have possibly developed great vessels for trade eastward and on the Mediterranean. Egypt might have expanded southward and would have access to ivory and salt. Egypt would probably still have many bronze tools, but would have strong iron scimitars for their military. This sounds like a fun idea... Erge [/QUOTE]
