The Roman Empire was still around. The Eastern half didnt disappear until 1453.

I think technology would have evolved differently. The reason why the fledging European nations had to innovate in many fields was due to manpower shortages. They invented the wheel crane, or the wind/water mill power because they didn't have slaves or a huge population like Rome, so they invented things that would boost individual performance. Rome would likely invent things that boost group performance and we might have things related to transport, logistics, and production lines happen much sooner.

11:25 Warhammer 40k reference PRICELESS XD 😂😂

I was thinking of Warhammer 40K the entire time and then a Space Marine suddenly spawns in the middle of the video I thought I was faded beyond believe.

Ancient Rome’s influence is still very much around, you can see it all over the United States in finance architecture laws the judicial system, Latin languages, the way leaders rule, sports, and their stadiums, and that culture, and more ..

The Roman Empire fell in 1452, and if you consider the Catholic church and Eastern Orthadox church a coninuation, it technically never fell

The Roman Empire never fell it became a church and the British became a bank

The Roman Empire never fell, it just changed its name.

It's widely thought Rome never fell but got assimilated.

The part about citizenship is imprecise. There is a strong distinction (that is not explained) between auxiliary units and legions. The legions recruited only roman citizens while the auxiliary only non citizens. The two type of units where also in roughly equal numbers.

The Byzantine Army adopted the composite bow-equipped mounted archers in their force structure. Byzantine sources mention the dexterity of the Seljuk Turks with composite bows. In the eleventh century, the Seljuks overran most of Anatolia, which the Byzantines had been able to defend against the Arabs from the seventh century onwards. Procopius refers to the presence of mounted archers in Belisarius's force, which enabled the Byzantine Army to overcome the Ostrogoths in Italy. In the war against the Vandals, Belisarius used auxiliary Hunnic horse archers against Vandal lancers. From the sixth century onwardsthe Romans used composite Hunnic bows. These bows were made of wood with sinew and horn glued together. The maximum range of such a bow was 300 metres and the effective range against an armoured target was 100 metres. Crossbowmen became common in the Byzantine Army only during the Crusades under Frankish influence.

Correction: Odoacer did not end the Roman Empire. It's Justinian the NOT Great who did that by replacing General Besilarius with someone else simply because he heard the Lombards were going to make Besilarius the Western Roman Emperor, thus resulting in the campaign to retake Italy to last for ten years and Rome in such a bad state. Odoacer simply ruled Italy on behalf of the Roman Imperator in Constantinopolis.

I asked for this video like 3 years ago!!!! So happy you guys finally did it!!! Thank you!

Where 400 days in an alien invasion William?

I have to massively disagree on two points of the video. 1) the ability to conquer parthia. At its full might even before the succession crisises they never were able. This is because the terrain required a fast rapid moving force to assault, and the primary method of roman combat was actually slow moving with a heavy focus on its heavy infantry. Parthia focused on Mounted Archery combat, and resorted to scorched earth tactics of spoiling wells and dsetroying any fields and falling back. This would require tight supply lines for the roman forces to move forward which Parthia had expertise in harassing. 2) The spread of Christianity. Keep in mind that Christianity spent of its early days as a cult religion in the Roman Empire. The first major spread didn't happen until the Roman Civil Wars that was a period of Instability. This instability is actually why the religion spread so much. If your Alternate Rome had not had this instability, it would still rely on its Pax Romana model of Pantheonism and would have repressed Christians for their monotheistic views. The only monotheistic religion that wasn't stomped on by the romans was Judaism because it was considered and ancient and respected religion, while Christianity was still a fledgling cult.

I love ur channel I be watching these videos when I’m cooking and painting my art projects

Love these need more interesting content and theories

I love these what-if scenarios. It's a lot of fun to think about it.

Remember legends never die as long as they are not forgotten meaning the Roman empire will live on forever
