Scenarios about 'imperial rome'

Imperial Rome refers to the period of Roman history when it was ruled by emperors, beginning with Augustus in 27 BCE and lasting until the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 CE. This era saw Rome reach its territorial zenith, develop sophisticated systems of law, engineering, and administration, and establish cultural and political institutions that would influence Western civilization for millennia. In alternate history scenarios, Imperial Rome is often explored through divergent timelines where the empire never fell or developed different technological or social trajectories.
