They were overstretching themselves and even then, due to the disperate make up of the empire it would have colloapsed prteey soon (in historical terms soon that is)<br />The teutoburger forest..now that would have been something. The effect of the romans never loosing..by having a better commander and having therefore not been at the wrong place..that would have altered the balance massively..the markomannen as proxy´s for romae would have effectively controlled the western borders and pushed any expansionism back...making rome massively strong and then able to deal a blow in the middle east..maybe big enough to hold the empire together much longer under one emporer and therefore not have to "give in´" to christian edicts which weakened the empire eventually.<br />But basically, they had to loose otherwise i wouldn´t have my Avatar :-D<br />Cheers<br />paulPaul´s Bodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698894821198907112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870589873354977188.post-4945949459059711152011-11-03T07:01:34.752+11:002011-11-03T07:01:34.752+11:00I've got this too, its a great read!!I've got this too, its a great read!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870589873354977188.post-47624821270844264862011-11-03T06:47:16.764+11:002011-11-03T06:47:16.764+11:00Looks good.
