[QUOTE="Xeriar, post: 968182, member: 4116"] A new empire might form in Spain, or something in the region breaking off from Carthage, becoming even greater than Rome or Carthage would be. Persia, Egypt and Greece would be vying for a lot of power in the east while this new power arose out of Spain, perhaps. You need fortifiable areas for that to take effect - Spain (Iberia), or France (if someone managed to unite the entire region ala Charlemagne) - most likely. England is a bit out of the way and Poland is just going to get ovverrun time and time again. Italy was like this too, of course, and thus we had the Roman Empire - but in this scenario, Rome didn't-quite-make it as a -true- power... So something further west comes into being say, around 100 BCE. Persia is quite the buffer for Buddhism, and it's not exactly a militant religion at its core. It still didn't displace Hinduism... The Incas were born out of several other civilizations from this area including an apparently important 'Lake Titicaca civilization'... But this, also, seems plausible. Carthage is suffering from a dearth of resources, someone is going to usurp its power. Perhaps some derivative of what the Cathegians spoke, - Greek will remain an important language for some time.
