"Even with the original idea, unlikely that that scenario would occur. We're talking about many centuries, here, remember." -What is this referring to?

But couldn't they build a random capital somewhere else? People have done that before, right? Or could the states north of Egypt revolt and form a new empire?

I'm sorry, the idea of an Eastern Roman Empire with a capital in Egypt is a turn off, and doesn't look nice geographically.

I did not think that one through.

The Italic Legions were named such at the time, right?

I dunno, the 950 timeline is really tempting.
