Description
It's been a while but I managed to crack this one out a within these few days and I'm taking a Roman Republic class so I just felt like Rome, like love in February, was in the air. I plan to crank out my weird America as Rome thing eventually as soon as I get the story straight(it's essentially supposed to act as a world backstory for a tokusatu-esque drama I've been writing, though will never publish fully)

Pretty simply it's a Roman Empire conquers the world map. The point of divergence is when Trajan campaign to conquer Persia goes much better and he manages to conquer the Parthians and Rome is able to hold on to that territory much more strongly than they were in OTL. The Era of the Good Emperors never truly ends as while Marcus Aurelius is still Emperor, Commudus is killed when he's young in a botched assassination from a Persian. Germania is conquered and Christianity becomes the State Religion in an alternate Civil War in the 4th Century. It might be better to say the Principate period of the Roman Empire never ends and it becomes akin to something like China where even when broken, it still manages to come back together. The Romans also never begin their stagnation so technological development moves on with traders and seafarers discovering America in the 11th century. The Greeks colonize much of what we know as the eastern coast United States, while Rome takes many of the territories the Spanish Empire nabbed in our century. The Roman Church is a mixture of Roman Catholicism and Greek Orthodoxy, taking the formers dress and style while the latter's relationship with the government. Other forms of Christianity exist, most of which operate freely like the Copts in Egypt. The one Christian group who has gotten on the nerves of the Romans traditionally were the Agnosians(otl mirror copy of the Nestorians) who came to dominate lands in Persia, Central Asia and much of China even after Rome conquered them. Despite that, as the Roman Empire expands, so does it's culture, it's ideology and religion expand as well. The Romans managed to stop the Mongolian invasion(as they still pop up) and slowly absorb the lands they conquered. Later on the Chinese and the Romans become rivals for the domination of Earth but the Chinese end up losing leading Rome's global Imperium. Today they are further expanding into space, and are in the process of terraforming Mars and Venus. Visually speaking they are a cross between the Imperium of Man and Star Trek's Terran Empire, though they are more moderate in comparison to the former two's ideologies(they don't kill their commanding officers for rank on a daily basis). It's overall very simple and incredibly ASB(it completely breaks my historical philosophy so it has that going for it).
