Julius Ceaser is remebered as one of the greatest generals in history who became the first emporer of Rome his death led to years of civil war
But what if he had survived?
But what if he had survived?
JHicks said:Intresting idea
if Julius Ceaser had lived and remained the emporer for the rest of his life who do you think would have succeded him as the emporer after he died
Rome already had a tight grip on Egypt, and no doubt Caesar would have tightened that grip, there would have been no need for a campaign there unless there was a revolt.JHicks said:youre probably right
do you think Octavian would have tried to conquer germania like he did after Julius was assasinated or would he have tried to conquer a different territory like egypt
Don't forget that if Caesar survives his natural born son does too. Whether the Romans would accept a half Egyptian as ruler of Rome is another matter of course. Definitely some potential for another civil war there.Finnish Dragon said:Historically, in his testament, Caesar named 18 years old young man as his heir. This young man was Octavian and he is better known as Augustus. I think it is pretty likely that Octavian would have been his successor in that case also if Caesar would have died about 20 years later.

The romans never kill Jesus, as it is a Egyptian provinces, and thus the new branch of judaism gets few supporters.

Enewald said:Well, Rome could have made it a part of Egypt.
And when the Roman Republic decided to get more land, not many nations remain independent. So Caesar would have given it to his son as a birthday present?
motiv-8 said:Acts of such overt imperialism were very rare throughout the Republican era.
motiv-8 said:There's no reason to think that the Senate, after observing the actions of Caesar in Gaul and the debacle of Crassus at Carrhae, would be willing to waste legionaries on what would almost certainly become another full-scale revolt in Judea, if the kingdom was handed back to Cleopatra / Ptolemy XV.
