Talk:Rise of Rome

First of all, if Rome had never been split the entire empire would have crumbled in about 300 A.D. Because Byzantium (or Eastern Rome) was an independent nation, it was able to get a peace with most of the barbarians. Furthermore, if the entire empire was still controlled by one Emperor, there would have been way to many problems going on, so the empire would have stopped sooner than it did in OTL.
