[QUOTE="NoOneofConsequence, post: 968168, member: 5400"] I've done a quick scan and cannot find the one word that immediately springs to my mind - Gaul. If the Romans have an unconquered Carthage to worry about just across the Med., then chances are that they won't have the resources left for Julius C's adventures in northern France. When noting this it is important to note that while the Romans considered the Gauls barbarians, they were a long way from primitive (one source I've read says that the Romans learnt iron working from the Gauls - especially in regards to armoury and weapon-smithing). The Gauls had a sophisticated culture on the verge of genuine nationhood. If Rome's conquest had been delayed by even a generation, then there's a good chance they would have faced a literate, unified nation that probably would have resisted their incursion. Gallic culture, not britannic Celtic culture, would have dominated the north west of Europe. This I think makes for a fascinating situation when the question is raised, would Gaul be able to resist the Germanic incursions better, worse or as well as Rome? My 2c. [/QUOTE]
