  1. Judea and the Temple come under Parthian control after Rome defeated in AD 70

    Like I said I have no idea how realistic this stuff is. But if there is a way to get Judea under Parthia with the Temple intact...

  2. Judea and the Temple come under Parthian control after Rome defeated in AD 70

    So let's figure out how to get Parthia to hang onto that area.

  3. Judea and the Temple come under Parthian control after Rome defeated in AD 70

    That's fine. Judea under at least temporary Parthian influence is going to going to have enough butterflies on its own given how recently Christianity was born and what happens to the Jewish Temple.

  4. Judea and the Temple come under Parthian control after Rome defeated in AD 70

    Here is what Paul is up to during this era IOTL. I wonder if we've got a bunch of Christian citizens exiled to Parthia and some stay put where they are as peasants. Anyone in Rome to support the new faith? It's possible Paul gets stuck in Rome for part of it and he gets much of his mission...

  5. Judea and the Temple come under Parthian control after Rome defeated in AD 70

    Wikipedia links on Parthia and Kushan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthian_Empire Its ruler at the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vologases_I_of_Parthia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kushan_Empire Its ruler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kujula_Kadphises Note that Kadphises was...

  6. Judea and the Temple come under Parthian control after Rome defeated in AD 70

    Parthia obviously would grab Egypt or make it a client state. Wasn't it the breadbasket of Rome?

  7. Judea and the Temple come under Parthian control after Rome defeated in AD 70

    Should I set up a collaborative World War Ist Century thread so we can flesh this out? We'd need to finalize the events and the final map after the surrender in AD 70 first. I certainly do not know enough to make it myself. Hell, the repercussions for Judaism and Christianity alone would be...

  8. Judea and the Temple come under Parthian control after Rome defeated in AD 70

    Yeah. I was wondering how that alliance would work anyway (unless it's more symbolic than practical). But you could still get marriage ties if the two sides know of each other.

  9. Judea and the Temple come under Parthian control after Rome defeated in AD 70

    I wonder how the Kushan Empire will react when Parthia suddenly goes to war with Rome and comes back a lot more powerful. I don't know much about either Parthia or Kushan though. Particularly if Kushan tries to grab land in the east when all Parthia's forces are in the west. Here's the map at...

  10. Judea and the Temple come under Parthian control after Rome defeated in AD 70

    What would realistic terms look like? The traditional "take over the territory and exile the locals" probably doesn't scale in this case to a large empire (especially if you need some people heading to Britannia and a hell of a lot more to Parthia). If Parthia can grab Egypt it would be...

  11. Judea and the Temple come under Parthian control after Rome defeated in AD 70

    Carthaginian revanchists start dangling plates with "Je me souviens" in Punic from their horses' tails. Newly independent Gaul: "Hey, fellows on the far side of the Rhine: need any help in harassing Rome?"

  12. Judea and the Temple come under Parthian control after Rome defeated in AD 70

    Note: I have no idea how plausible this is. But here goes. Split off from the Boudicca thread. 58: Parthia and Rome begin fighting in Armenia (OTL) 61: Boudicca's forces defeat Suetonius (POD). Boudicca survives. Nero is pissed and starts gathering legions for a punitive expedition. 62...

  13. Boudicca forces Nero to give up Britannia

    I see. I didn't know how big their army was to be honest

  14. Boudicca forces Nero to give up Britannia

    In all seriousness if Boudicca is being a pain the size of Judea IOTL, can you imagine what the emperor will do if Boudicca AND Judea are revolting at the same time? There is no way Rome can fortify both fronts with quality troops. And they are about as far apart as you can get in the empire...

  15. Boudicca forces Nero to give up Britannia

    The problem here is that may leave other parts of the empire undefended. Where do you take them from? And if you recruit new troops, how long will it take to train them? I can see the following happening. Boudicca flattens the Roman units in 61. Nero is pissed and sends a huge army over...

  16. Boudicca forces Nero to give up Britannia

    It's possible, but if they beat Rome once... Now to be fair if the next expedition brings reinforcements Boudicca is toast.

  17. Boudicca forces Nero to give up Britannia

    Changing the commander in Rome doesn't change the skill of the soldiers sent off to defeat the Iceni. They suffer the same fate.

  18. Boudicca forces Nero to give up Britannia

    Crazy idea comes to mind: "Hey, Boudicca? I hear your husband died. I just so happen to have a successor to in mind to my throne in Rome. And what do you know? He's single!" Interestingly, Boudicca's husband nominated their two daughters and Nero as his heirs upon his death and Rome...

  19. Boudicca forces Nero to give up Britannia

    From Wikipedia: Supposedly Boudicca wins against Suetonius, or things proceed as IOTL but Boudicca does not die then. Instead she gets pissed and redoubles her efforts to fight Rome. Eventually, Nero finally gets fed up with her and withdraws his forces, at least temporarily. He figures...
