Neo-Roman Empire

In the year 98 A.D., a Roman solider stumbled upon an old temple in the Roman province of Judaea. He walked into the ruins and saw an old underground passage. He walked down into it and saw it branch off into 5 different tunnels, with a map on a table near the wall and a message next to it. It said, "For who shall find these tunnels will have great power for centuries to come." The solider ran out and had a message sent to Emperor Trajan. Trajan ordered an immediate investigation. It was found that the tunnels stretched to the Black Sea and well into the Parthinian Empire. Emperor Trajan ordered 2 legions to be sent into the tunnels and perform a sneak attack on the Parthinians. They were caught by surprise and quickly conquered. With their major enemy to the east conquered, the Romans turned their heard to the north, where barbarians were causing trouble on the frontier. Germania was conquered, and then in 117 A.D., Emperor Trajan died, leaving the throne to his adopted son, Hadrian.

Emperor Hadrian concentrated on defending the new provinces, building Hadrian's Wall in the Roman province of Britannia, and building a wall along the new Roman provine of Germania, naming it the Great Germanian Wall. The barbarians were repelled, preventing the fall of the Roman Empire.
