The Rome-X Timelines are a series of alternate worlds named for their common trait: A successful Roman empire... to some degree.
| Timeline | Tech Level | Q | Brief Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rome-1 | TL3-4 | 5 | 954 AD, Justinian manages to reunite the empire, his successors reestablish the capital in Rome proper (rather than Constantinople), leading to a slightly healthier Rome. |
| Rome-2 -- "Johnson's Rome" | TL4 (Medicine TL5-8) | 5 | Someone brought crosstime travel to the Romans, and told a lot of folks before the Patrol could put a lid on it. The can of worms is open--can Infinity Unlimited keep this world safe from clumsy tourists, corporate saboteurs, and the occasional antiquity-era battle? |
| Rome-3 -- "Roma Aeterna" | TL5 (some weapons 6) | 6 | Rome narrowly avoids its more chaotic years and spreads to the New World. New Romans establish the new Rome in Mexico. |
| Rome-4 | TL6 | 6 | The Spartacan timeline. The rebellions of Spartacus and Sertorius were monumentally successful, and Rome becomes fractured, but in a spectacular way. Chunks of Rome make it as east as Afghanistan and west as Cuba. |
| Rome-5 | TL2, TL5 medicine | 4 | The Roma-Jin timeline. Rome accidentally discovers inoculation through acupuncture, lots of people don't die. Cultural interchange between Rome and a Sixteen Kingdoms-era China. |
| Rome-6 -- "Roma Arcana" | TL2^ | 7 | Romans riding triceratops and casting spells, some weird fun stuff. |
| Rome-7 | TL2+3 | 4 | Oil-powered drag-racing Romans |
