You ever read a book, watch a movie, learn some history, and think to yourself “That was pretty good, but what if it turned out this way instead?”. Me too! I like speculative history as much as the next person, but the world is such a complicated place. The more accurate you try to be, the more vague your alternate history must become. It’s too bad we’ll never know for sure… or will we? If there’s one thing people like to say about history, it’s that it repeats. Today I’m going to tell you a story about how a young noblewoman used her position as the emperor’s wife to take control of the Roman Empire, only to find herself locked in a life and death struggle with her own teenage son. One story, with two very different endings.
