When Tiberius ( who in this world decided that he's make Claudius emperor, because he thought him a fool) died and Caligula went to Rome to see Claudius made emperor, Caligula asked Claudius for the resources to explore the seas.
Claudius thought that would keep Caligula busy so he set him up.
It is now the year 1,000 AUC. Rome is settling the Caribbean and making regular trips to Asia.
Basically, Roman plus the Age of Sail. |
Huh. Caligula will have a massively different reputation here than on Homeline. I do wonder if butterflies from this event would lead to someone other than Nero being Claudius's successor.
