I'd love to see the sequel, the Sassanid invasions, Justinian, Belisarius, the fall of Britannia, the Arabs, and even the Vikings invading Roman France

“If only. Those must be the two saddest words in the world.”― Mercedes Lackey. “There was once a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish.” -- Marcus Aurelius. Thanks !

Would love to see a series on this timeline. The 600’s and the Great Persian war in the east

Majorian : *trying to save the empire Ricimer : "I'm gonna end this man whole career"

Made me shed a little tear of joy (and grief as well, because it was just a dream).

I really want a part two imagining how the empire and his children would go on

You should do a video on Eastern generals and Emperors such as Leo III, John Kourkouas, Nikephoras Phokas, John I Tzimiskes, Basil II, Maurice, Heraclius etc.

Probably, if things had worked as they did in this timeline, there would not have been several national identities (Italian, Spanish, Tunisian, French....) but only one: ROMAN. Even today, many European Latins continue to identify themselves as Romans and dream (secretly) of forming one great Latin nation. Perhaps we need a new Majorian to make it happen.

Everything about this was so cathartic to watch 😌✨ I love explorations of alt-timelines that give historical figures the endings they deserved!

Just imagine that in this timeline, we end up seeing the Roman Empire having a worldwide Cold War with China, Great Britain, and an alternate version of the United States of America.

So many expectations and hopes beaten down and left to die. Late Roma is fascinating and painful to study. To think the Empire could have survived and prospered into the middle age. We can only dream

The alternativ history path for Majorian has been very beutifully been made, if I could at least now I would support this channel by donation, keep up the good work.

Beautiful video, it would be great if you'll continue this timeline

Majorian will always be a legend in my book

Masterly put together video! Well done good sir.

This alternate history format would be great for a scenario on a Britanno-roman successor state (enter King Arthur).

Please make a part 2 for this video I love it!!

I have waited for this video for a long time and I'm very happy to see it.

A very plausible scenario, loved the video. Ave Majorianus. 👌

You literally are my favourite ancient roman KZfaqr rn. You are making me dream at night about alternative timelines of ancient rome surviving thank you so much!

Needs to be a sequel to where Majorians son leads the Romans to finally conquer Germania once and for all. Also they are still missing a bit of mainland territory. Specifically the provinces of Noricum, Pannonia and Raetia.

This is a great video man! 🙂👍

A continuation to this would be really cool!

Great video!

Love this!

Thanks,Very Much.

From beginning till the end of the events of this video, i feel satisfied❤

Ave Majorian !

Awesome video can you make a what if video in which the Eastern Roman Empire survived.

Was A Magnificent Vídeo.

Thanks!

Maiorianus: Was I a good Imperator? *Iesu Christi: No. You are of the Best.*

Mesmerizing, yet again. And the best part? I have significantly increased my knowledge of Roman history and still have a long way to go.

I want to think that Majorian would have also restored Britannia. The Britons still had a decent military power and wanted Rome back, the arrival of Majorian's troops could have tipped balance against the invading Saxons.

Love your awesome work And yeah the algorith is not being any help, though my friends have shared this video on the alternatehistory forum when we were also talking about Majorian

This is my favourite kind of fan fiction.

Do a mini series!

Hey Maiorianus, I'm very interested in both your work and Schwerpunkt's, have you guys ever thought about a coop?

Let’s gooooo another video !!!

22:45 I think it would have been much smarter for Majorian, in this hypothetical Timeline, to keep the old tribal Kings intact. Subordinate, but intact. I think that, given the fact that the tribes that are now living in Gaul and Spain comprise a substantial percentage of the Populations of their respective regions, it would be wiser to share Power with these subordinate kings, return to a system somewhat similar to the system established under Augustas and Vespasian, where power was shared with local elites.

This should be a movie

Great video This is awesome timeline I feel like Majorian (if he lived long enough) would have abolish Magister Millitum since the system brings civil war and it was used by mostly barbarian leaders especially Ricimer

There was once a dream called Rome and it was absolutely beautiful

Well, this is the dream of every late Western roman empire fan :D. I'm writing right now a thesis on Ricimer for my master degree in roman history (circa, coz in italy there are no specific "Roman" degree or whichever)....and I hate him on every page I write...every one...

1:10 LET'S GOOO ELCHE MENTIONED but also Portus Illicitanus is modern day Santa Pola, not Elche

Then somebody else would have trigger a civil war after Majorian's peacefull death.

If only this could be, funnily enough, I was thinking of what names Majorian would give his sons and I too came to the conclusion of Marcellus

Man i love this

It s so sad, you made us realize that the empire really did NOT need to fall there and then

22:46 Eh, no big loss. It was a money hole at that point

fleets and ships are moored at port, not really parked. Parked is mostly for cars 😉😉

Majorian the second story with need it!

How much was the recovered territory under Romes control? I ask, because almost as soon as he died, they were lost again.

We need more of the Majorian timeline

Would be great to have a follow up to this that continues down the alternate timeline. Discuss how the Roman Empire could have gone if the dude only made the right decision ^w^

Majorian sounds like a lot like General Grant. A superb general but too trusting to make a good politician.

Can you make a video about GALLIENVS restore the empire? (Alternative History)

I’m Majorian your videos.

This is a pretty good what if video about an amazing character of his time. I believe without the backstabbing of his friend he would definitely have ruled a resurgent empire. I wonder could you do the same scenario for Theodric The Great if his family line had not fallen apart, perhaps even scenario of the golf becoming more integrated with Rome and becoming Catholic. After all, I always thought, what would it be like if his golden age in Italy, had grown into a Gothic Roman empire fusion.

This isn't the first version of this Timeline I've seen. There's another Late Roman Revival Alternate history that uses Romulus Augustulus as the point of divergence. If you do make this a series (And you really should, as lots of Alternate history scenarios don't get the time they need to really shine), I encourage you to be creative with the pieces on the board.

Can you please do a video on Marcellinus of dalmatia I want to know more about him.

I guess one of the fascinating aspects of Roman History is that.... despite its whole hoast of misshaps and bad rulers... only one such event less and it migth have just been able to hold on. Until Rome itself fell for good it seems there was never a clear point you could point to and say "Here it was absolutly over." Hell I guess some people migth argue it wasnt realy over until Konstantinople fell almost another 1000 years later.

Damn you Ricimer...... Majorian may you rest in peace!!! ☹️

17:49 do I hear the plot of the battle of the milvian bridge repeating itself?

Would’ve been interesting if Maiorianus wanted to parade Geiseric through Rome in a Triumph before exile or more likely execution. Then Ricimer would’ve either made his move in northern Italia or waited until he could reach Geiseric himself. As long as he fixed the succession problem nothing can stand in their way.

How do you make the art

currently, trying to save my Western Empire in Attila TW.. those hordes are inadequate, they dont really know what they even want

My guess - Majorian makes someone who isn't his son emperor and chooses them for competency. Perhaps Marcellinus or Nepotianus, or if they are dead, he maybe chooses Julius Nepos. Or maybe that will cause his actual children to be jealous and cause a civil war, and THAT is how the empire dies.

This got my heart racing and my eyes wet!

U need to continue this timeline to at least the year 1,000

Great chapter can you make what if garmanices lifed longer

Always played this in my head. Even after the burn of the fleet. He does not disband the army, but blames the Vandals, Visigoths and Suebi, just to keep the army united. Attacks the Suebi and Visigoths and plots Frank Alemani and Burguands against each other. Completely destroys all three foederati, and makes alliance with Armorica and Basque. After some territorial corrections with the Franks and Alemany and Rugi, together with Marcellinus and the East destroys the Ostrogoths and takes more land. Success after success make people forget about the Vandals, for the moment. His image cemented, he, understanding Ricimer's plot, attacks him. After a brief civil war, Majorian is free. Clean up operations againstbevery barbarian entity not on the border and than, the united attack with the East on the vandals.....just some stupid man thinking 😂..... In your scenario, would attacking the Ostrogoths before dealing with Ricimer be better to cement his aura and remove mos Ricimer's supporters? Franks we 'good' allies and Allemmani were far away for the moment. What do you think? I could be completely wrong

I wonder how the renaissance would play out, since the Western Roman Empire survived longer.

One Thing intrigues Me How The Basilisk Tried Ti Become Emperor Afeter All That Tragedy in Cab Bon.

Majorian should have dispersed his fleet in different ports to reduce risk of sabotage.

Wonderful video of a possibility of what could have been. Rip to the Roman Empire. The greatest empire of them all. P.S. Could you make a what if the Romans fortified Italy and kept out the barbarian invasions maintaining,Latin rule over Italy? The rest of the western empire would still fall.

I do know. Every great dynasty begins with a Caesar (like this alternative Maiorian) but ends end with a Nero (or maybe alternative Moiorian's successors, just like Theodosius the "Great" Western successors Honorius and Valentinian III). Any Imperial system's weakness is its dependence on the quality of its leader, the Emperor. Just witness, the later history of the East Roman Empire's Macedonian dynasty (mighty Basil II) which eventually lead to treachery by Alexios III and 1204 sack of Constantinople (from which it never recovered).

I think the empire would still fall not too long after because of the conscription issue aswell as pollarization,inflation and such

Be honest, you _really_ enjoyed scratching your head for this video 😂

Man, your really big on Majorian. Like Cornpop, Ricimer was a bad dude..

Far better time line 💪

I think it possible that Majorian II and his heirs would look to keep the stability of the Empire while growing in power to reconquer Britian. How long it would take to build the strentgh necessary to do so is questionable. But while in our timeline the Normans invaded Anglo-Saxon Britian, in this timeline it would be a Roman invasion, and several centuries earlier than our timeline. Even if an invasion of Britian does or does not take place, the next major problem facing this rebuilt Western Roman Empire would be what plagued the Europeans in our timeline: the North Men, Norsemen, or Vikings as we now call them. However, I think a united, Roman Europe and North Africa could have dealt with the Vikings much better than the fragmented kingdoms of Europe in our own timeline, with much bigger armies, navies, and resources than any of the fragmented kingdoms of Europe could ever bring against the Vikings. Shoud the Vikings be dealt with, who knows what the next challenge could be to this rebuilt Western Roman Empire.

Reading Dr Michael Hudson's "...and forgive them their debts; Lending, Foreclosure and Redemption From Bronze Age Finance to the Jubilee Year", on page 237 I found this bit of information about Maiorianus which I thought I might share with you: "Attempts to tighten imperial tax collection were bound to alienate these officials, and especially the large landholders, who backed military warlords against emperors strong enough to restrain their grabbing. They overthrew Emperor Majorian (457-461), a former general, when in 458 he assigned tax collection to governors instead of local administrators as one of his first acts, his Novel No. 2, "On the Remission of Past Due Accounts," despite proclaiming an amnesty for land-tax arrears." You probably already knew about this, but on the off chance you weren't familiar with this I thought I would drop a few words. Excellent channel you have!

I love this alternative story though I'm afraid it's a bit too optimistic. The Romans were quite prone to civil war, and an emperor being a really good one was no guarantee that his son would be so as well, as seen in case of Marcus Aurelius.

3:12 for people that want to get straight to the point

Wow, amazing and moving video towards the end. Has WRE survived, the ERE would not have lost lost Syria and Egypt for good, as they'd have the support of the West. Islam would not have spread, the Mediterranean would look radically different

Ah yes Chadjorian...Hero of all time. Edit: Before watching this channel, I used to think that Majorian was simply a failed footnote in history. I no longer think this.

If unbiased history has taught me anything Majorian sons would immediately try to kill each other With the worst option succeeding 🤣

What total war mod is that ?

I LIKE THIS TIMELINE!! AVE IMPERATOR CAESAR MAIORIANUS INVICTUS RESTITUTOR AUGUSTUS!!!!

By the Gods I wish this was the reality

What Would Justinian And Belisarius Look Like in This Timeline?

I HAVE A FEELING THAT YOU A MAIORIANUS FAN

This made me cry...

This scenario is a saving a disaster campaign where Legend of Total War controls Majorian.

Would Areliuis ourianus (Arthur) not try to join this roman empire. I can imagen that he would send a message to the romans with the request to send legions to defend Britania.

what about the rising franks

Elche is more or less spelled "elshe" "eltxe" Solo un dato curioso.
