Petronius Maximus --- The dipshit Roman emperor who caused the sack of Rome because he was an arrogant dipshit.

Petronius Maximus was a wealthy Roman politician born in 397 AD to old Roman money. Like many wealthy Romans he went into politics and throughout the early 5th century climbed the ranks of Roman government until he became one of the most powerful men in the Western Roman Empire. He was crafty and he was ambitious. He was also a dipshit and an asshole.

By the 450's P. Maximus had a clear plan, to create a power vacuum in Rome that he could cunningly fill. He began by turning the emperor at the time, Valentinian III, against his magister militum Flavius Aetius. As magister militum Aetius was commander of the Roman Army, and had proven himself a master tactician and brilliant diplomat. Through military victories and diplomacy Aetius was barely holding a crumbling empire together. Maximus convinced Valentinian III that Aetius was looking to usurp his throne. Thus in 454 Valentinian summoned Aetius to his palace and personally murdered him with his sword. Maximus had organized the death of the most talented Roman official in the empire, which in the grand scheme of things was probably a big mistake. With Aetius dead, Maximus expected he would take Aetius' place as magister militum. However Valentinian refused to appoint him as magister militum. Thus in 455 AD, Maximus had him assassinated, hiring two of Aetius' bodyguards to do the deed as revenge.

Several powerful Romans claimed the Imperial throne but Maximus managed to beat them all to the punch by taking over the Imperial Palace and immediately marrying Valentinian's widow, Licinia Eudoxia. Licinia didn't know Maximus had murdered her husband at the time but had suspicions. He also forced her daughters, Placidia and Eudocia to marry his sons. Through deceit and murder Maximus had managed to weasel his way into the Roman Imperial family and was now creating his own Imperial dynasty. Thus Petronius Maximus had become Emperor Dipshit, ruler of the shiny turd of what was left of the Western Roman Empire.

Problem was, when Emperor Dipshit married off Placidia and Eudocia to his sons, he canceled Eudocia's arranged marriage to Hunneric, who was the son of Geiseric, king of the Vandals. The Vandals were a Germanic tribe that had set up a prosperous kingdom in the former Roman province of North Africa, and were constantly raiding the Italian coast. Valentinian had arranged the marriage of Eudocia as a peace offering to Geiseric. Geiseric had received a letter from Eudoxia informing him that Maximus had killed her husband and was canceling the marriage of Eudocia. Geiseric was enraged at Empror Dipshit for canceling the marriage, and sent a Vandal fleet and army to Rome in response. "No problem" said Emperor Dipshit, "we got the Roman Army".

Except there was no Roman Army. Not really. After the death of Aetius the remains of the standing full time professional army had collapsed almost completely. Even Aetius was very dependent on mercenaries and allies. Nobody wanted to enlist in the Roman Army in the 5th century, with Romans going so far as to cut off their own fingers to avoid conscription. The Roman economy was a mess, the Imperial bureaucracy was riddled with corruption, the life of the average Roman was miserable, and by the 5th century most Roman emperors were snobbish, over-privileged, incompetent out of touch dipshits. The empire was dying and everybody knew it. Few believed it was worth saving, and nobody wanted to die for a dipshit emperor such as Emperor Dipshit. By 455 AD what was left of the Roman Army consisted of militia units called "limitanei" who acted as border patrolmen far away from Rome. For more complex military operations the Romans were fully dependent on mercenaries and allies. Emperor Dipshit attempted to enlist the help of the Visigoths, but they were like, "LMFAO nooo, you made your bed now lie in it!" I speculate they knew Maximus was a dipshit who was probably gonna get them all killed.

Emperor Dipshit knew it was a hopeless situation, so he made an announcement to the Roman people to flee and save themselves, then he too turned tail and fled. He was spotted by a large group of Roman refugees, who formed a mob and beat him to death. Good riddance. Emperor Dipshit's glorious reign lasted 77 days.

As far as sackings go the sack of Rome in 455 AD wasn't too bad. The Vandals were Christians, so the Pope was able to convince them not to do the more horrible things like rape and murder civilians, or burn down the city. So for the most part the Vandals refrained from bloodshed and arson. However they did take as many Romans into slavery as they could fit on their ships, and they also looted the city of almost everything of value. Even the bronze tiles on the roof of the Temple of Jupiter were pried off and carted away. Also Geiseric carted off Eudocia and married her off to his son Huneric.

The Vandal's sack of Rome in 455 is where we get the term "vandalism" today. Also did I mention that Petronius Maximus was a dipshit?

Die on my Ride

Hey I made another cool Age of Empires 2 scenario.

The year is 437, the place is Worms, and you are Attila the Hun, history’s most guy. After waging a long and bloody war across the length and breadth of Gaul which cost the lives of your uncles Octar and Ruga, the Burgundians and their proud king Gundahari have at last capitulated to Roman authority. However, the magister militum Flavius Aetius, your best friend whom you’d never ever betray, has plotted cunning treachery. The Romans believe Gundahari is too proud and even still too powerful to fully be trusted, and so Aetius has offered you a substantial sum of gold to do the thing you were already going to do anyway: In vengeance for your slain sovereigns, kill every Burgundian you can find and burn Worms to the ground. If the enticements of bribery and vengeance were not enough, legends also tell of a vast treasure-horde secreted somewhere in the region, a trove of unimaginable wealth in gold, silver, and artifacts. The legends also say the treasure is under a dragon’s curse and will kill anyone who tries to claim it, but that’s probably nothing to worry about, I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Percy Jackson, Azutara Au idea

What will the presence of two more children of the big three, mean for the the second Titanomachy or second gigantomachy? What will it mean for the Greco-Roman strife? What will it mean for the Hundred Years’ War with the presence of two nearly overwhelmingly powerful half Gods. Both of whom could (individually) challenge the Avatar if they so wished.

The fact the two of them alternate between wanting to kill each other, and wanting to kiss each other silly, also adds some tension to the precarious state of the world.

At least Aphrodite/Venvs is amused.

————————————————————————

Two brother gods, one Greek, the other Roman decided to sojourn in another world. One with mortals and other spirits separate from Olympus and Terrae.

Poseidon visits the people of the sea, so alike to his own. They hold ice and hearth close to their chest. He falls for a beautiful mortal woman. They have a daughter together. She was named Κατάρα or Katara. Poseidon smiles as he looks down at his daughter and says (to Kya and Hakoda) that she will be a curse to her enemies and to the enemies of Atlantis, but will also be blessing to this world and to his own. Poseidon then returns to Atlantis.

Ivpiter visits the people of the sun. Those who worshiped flame and lightning. Reminding him of his son Mars and of the eternal city. There he goes to their royals place in a volcano’s caldera and happens upon a fire nation princess. He courts her and falls for her. They also have a daughter together. She is the child of king of the Dii Consentes. Ivpiter determined that she would be as bright as Apollo, and have the Wisdom of Minerva. The child was named AZVLA or Azula. Before he leaves to return to Olympus, Ivpiter looks as his daughter and whispers (with Ursa listening on) “Sit illa erit Felicior Augusto, melior Traiano” to Azula softy. Then leaves.

Azula is given a golden coin by Jupiter. Similarly to Jason. It transforms into a bow and arrow on one side (tails) and a Gladius and shield on the other (heads).

The coin is inscribed with the image of Flavius Aetius and the words “Shield of the Romans” or Clypeus Romanorum. On the tails side is the image of a Roman Eagle, inscribed with the acronym SPQR, and the words Filia Iovis, arranged around the eagle cyclically.

Katara wields a trident that was given to her by Poseidon. The Weapon bares the image of an Akhlut. A wolf-orca hybrid of Inuit mythology (which Poseidon has a connection with). Is is also inscribed with the words Αβυσσος “Abyss” named for the Abyss of the deep sea.

Though, Azula and Katara only get these weapons once they go to camp Half-blood and camp-Jupiter respectively. Which will take a few years, considering they grow up in a war torn world separate from Earth.

I personally believe that Azula and Katara are (roughly) equals in terms of raw bending power in canon. With them both being children of one of the “big three” that remains true for godly powers and abilities.

————————————————————————

Also Azula grows up thinking she is Ozai’s daughter (cause Ozai does not know about Ivpiter inclement in her conception) and tries to be ideal Fire Nation princess. When she is twelve Azula (about one year after Zuko’s banishment) is transported to Earth (specifically to the Wolf house) by a spirit. She has no idea what is going on.

Here Azula learns the truth that while her father is a king, he is in fact the king of the Gods, rather than a measly lord of the Fire Nation. Azula is reluctant at first but comes to accept the truth. Lupa also helps her with the realization that both she and her (Apparently half) brother Zuko were unjustly abused.

Azula is given the coin by Lupa. Being told that it was “a gift from her true father”. After which, Azula spends several months training with Lupa and her wolf pack before heading of to camp Jupiter.

Once there, Azula is made a probatio and placed into the second cohort of the Legion. Though Azula has ambitions about earning her stripes early and officially joining Nova Roma. She also has ambitions about becoming a centurion, then Praetor, and maybe even resurrecting the long defunct office of Consul.

Azula also meets her half-brother Jason. She tries to stick to rivalry with her sibling. It’s the only thing she really knows. But Jason is way to earnest about bonding with his family.

One day, Apollo himself arrives in camp Jupiter. Interrupting a training session. He proclaims that Neptune Trident has been stolen and that the half-blood children of Ivpiter stand accused.

Appolo gives a prophecy and a quest is then assigned to retrieve the trident. Azula and Jason are told to co-lead the quest. They bring Jason’s friends Dakota a son of Bacchus and Gwendolyn a daughter of Spes.

They bond over this quest (a life changing adventure) and rescue Neptune’s trident and stopped a war in the process. Azula and Jason also bound about having coins that can turn into weapons. Azula begins to consider Jason to be a true brother, and for Dakota and Gwen to be true friends. It took a while though…

Azula then stays in New Rome uninterrupted for another year. Until at the age of 14 she is suddenly whisked back to the world of Avatar by the spirits. And she finds her self standing before her (step) father Ozai.

————————————————————————

In regards to Katara, she grows up knowing that Kakoda is her step father. That didn’t matter though because he was still a dad to her. Katara is also sent to Earth (via spirit machinations) at the age of 12. She is dropped at a Montauk beach. Not that far from the Beach house of that Sally (the greatest mother in fiction), her son, and a goat boy lived. She rushes to the beach house and meets the three. Then they run to Camp Half-blood (though neither Katara or Percy have any idea what is going on).

Once near Thalia tree, Sally is kidnapped (via magic) and transported to the underworld. While Percy and Katara both battle the Minotaur.

Once they arrive at camp-Half Blood they learn about the gods, the moving of Olympus, Annabeth also shows them both around. etc. Katara is placed into the Hermes canon with Percy. Katara also forms a budding friendship with Luke. Once the two participate in capture the flag they are both claimed by Poseidon. Incidentally, learning that they are siblings.

They the. Learn about Zeus’s lightning bolt be stolen and that both of them are accused of the theft. Katara and Percy only have till the solstice to retrieve the bolt and prove their innocence. Katara, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover all go the quest. Despite the ancient law of three.

Poseidon also gives Katara and Percy gifts from their father Poseidon. Karats gets a powerful and deadly looking trident. Percy gets a pen. Eventually, the quest is resolved and the true thief is revealed. Katara forms an enduring friendship with Annabeth and Grover and a sibling bond with Percy throughout their life changing adventure.

When Katara is 14 she is shocked back to the world of Avatar. Right into Sokka’s boat as he is fishing. To the shock of both of them.

————————————————————————

Just a fun little PJO (HOO)/ATLA plot bubble I thought up. If anyone has any thoughts, let me know! I know you @firenaition like PJO in particular, if you or anybody have any thoughts let me know! I may add more to this Au idea in future. Twas posted in honor of Azutara and the new Percy Jackson show airing on the Mouse network.

Imperial History

On the 21st of September, 454 CE, the Roman Emperor Valentinian III attempted to murder Flavius Aetius while he delivered an account in Ravenna. With an audience of nobles and senators, the Emperor interrupted Aetius and declaimed him, drawing his sword so that he could strike him down. Instead, Aetius killed the Emperor. Perhaps Valentinian had feared Aetius’ growing power and influence, perhaps he felt resentment over Aetius’ allegiances in the civil wars of decades prior. Regardless of the reason, a fearful emperor had tried to strike down the man called the last true Roman, and failed.

To empire-wide acclaim, Aetius was declared emperor, and immediately set about fixing the almost unfixable situation the Western Roman Empire found itself in. To the Germanic tribes flooding across her borders, Aetius offered alliance and citizenship. To the slave rebellions wracking the empire’s provinces, he offered freedom. To the plebes, so beleaguered by hunger and poverty, he offered land and wealth redistribution. To the military, he offered leadership and salvation. Across all sectors of empire, he tore down the foundations and built them anew.

By his death in 534, Rome was reborn, stronger, wealthier, smarter than before. The Imperial Highways stretched across every corner of the empire, the legions were rebuilt and cities expanded. Under the firm, even handed leadership of the Aetian Dynasty, the empire flourished.

Starting under Emperor Gaulterius, Rome sought a closer relationship with the nations of Africa. First with the Umayyad Caliphate and their successors, and later the Empire of Mali, Rome and Africa would develop rapidly. In 1634, Roman and Malian engineers would begin construction on the Continental Causeway, building a road and rail bridge from the lower tip of Italia through Sicily and into Roman Carthage on the coast of North Africa. Together, the two continents would embark on several other massive projects, including Terra’s first megacity of Damascus. Dagbon shipbuilders built the steamships that carried the first imperial explorers across the Atlantic, and Benin engineers helped design the underground Imperial Railway that spanned all across Europe.

In 1791, an alliance of African states signed the Sahel Accords, creating the Pan African Coalition. The same day, the Imperium Europum, as Rome had come to be known, declared them a permanent ally, equal, and partner.

This golden age would last until September 25th, 1933, when Roman ambassador to Qing Iolanus Vorenus deliberately sabotaged a series of diplomatic communiques, and sparked a war between Rome and the Qing. As the series of border skirmishes between Roman legions and Qing troops escalated into a full blown war, the rest of the Pan-Asia Defense Initiative was drawn into the conflict, which soon spilled over into the PAC and Western Economic Union of the new world. The war would last until 1943, when Qing sued for peace, economically devastated by the war. The empire would not escape unscathed, as the regional capital of Triers was destroyed in a WEU nuclear strike.

After the war, the WEU and PADI would be folded into the empire, which declared itself the Imperium Terra. In 1991, Outpost Sapiens was established on Luna, marking the creation of humanity’s first off-world settlement. The outpost would serve as a fuel depot for further exploration of the solar system under the joint Imperial-PAC Global Aerospace Administration, although imperial zeitgeist for space development would die off following the ISV Mare Tyrrhenian Disaster in 2101 when a cargo launcher exploded over Celtiberia, spreading fallout across the entire province. It would take a miracle for the Imperium to restart its expansion to the stars.

This miracle would come in the form of Emperor Valerius Illurius Laerio and his adopted son, Herius Victus. Emperor Valerius was elected by the Senate in 2303, breaking the uninterrupted reign of the Aetian Dynasty for the first time in imperial history. Valerius was not a popular emperor, and ruled mostly from afar for the early years of his reign. It wasn’t until August 1st, 2314, that his image would be rehabilitated when an orphan was mysteriously left in his antechamber. Naming the child Herius, Valerius adopted him as his son and heir, and groomed him from that day forward to be his successor.

Herius would prove to have the charm and warmth his father lacked, and proved immensely popular at state functions, so when his coronation day arrived in 2332, massive crowds gathered to cheer. This was when three massive ships appeared in orbit over Terra, utterly immense in dimension and scale. The largest of them, measuring fully 43.7 kilometers in length, would soon be nicknamed the Invictus, in honor of the prince. Valerius, his interest clearly piqued by the ships, gathered a team of scientific, military, engineering, and cultural advisors, and boarded the Invictus along with his son.

For a year, cadres of experts shuttled back and forth from Terra to the ship, frequently accompanied by the crown prince. And then, suddenly and without warning, Victus stole the ship. He and a selected team of loyalists absconded with the Invictus, disappearing into the reaches of space.

The Imperium surged after him. Reverse engineered technology from the two other ships, christened the Harbingers, was used to develop humanity’s first interstellar vessels, and from there, the Imperium Humanum, as it was now known, spread through the stars. After the disaster of the 1st Aberinian War, it would meet the vast galactic community.

It is now 2762. The Imperium is the pinnacle of stellar civilization. Numbering over 4000 settled systems and nearly 13 trillion citizens, it is the largest spacefaring nation in galactic history. Gargantuan macro-engineering projects are a daily endeavor, and entire stars are rendered down to their raw materials to feed the needs of the growing populace. Massive Imperial warships ply its borders, and its proud Navy remains undefeated through the many attempts to conquer the nascent power. But on the eastern fringe of the Imperial Frontier, whole worlds are going dark, early warning beacons are being silenced, and disquiet grows. Rumors are spreading of something terrible in the deeps of space, spreading like a cancer. And amidst all this, the Dark Prince Herius Victus has been seen for the first time since the apocalyptic Unification Wars of the 2670s. No one knows what is coming, except maybe the once favored first son of the Empire.

[hassiegfrieddoneanythingwrong]

It's still really funny that Attila in real life history died of a nosebleed soon after taking Ildico (Hildiko) as his newest wife. Died thanks to his diet in 453.

And poor Ildico did nothing to him, despite being blamed for it. Yet the poets used her in part as inspiration for both Gudrun and Kriemhild.

They really went "NO. The scourge of God can't die like that! It's too anticlimactic!" and then made up a new death for him. Or they just believed the popular idea that Ildico killed him in his sleep.

Partially as revenge for the slaughter of the Burgundians in the 430s, which was ordered by Flavius Aetius and undertaken by the Huns.

Best part is that his uncles Rugila and Octar were involved, not him.

...

You know, I'm going to take the advice commonly given by this gacha and stop thinking too hard about it. Because layering legend, history, and adaptations leads to too many holes in the story.

And Fate already has the whole fiction vs reality bit with Charlie and Karl. Plus the multiple textures idea via mythologies that falls apart under scrutiny.

How the fuck did Gudrun marry Altera again when she also married Sigurd after drugging him with a love potion? (In some adaptations, it was her mother who did it. Which makes it more of an unfortunate tragedy.)

...my word, lass may have married the white titan instead!

I don't want to think about how they had kids...

To be fair, Kriemhild (the overall figure) is also possibly inspired by Brunhilda of Austrasia and Fredegund, and looking at the actions those two did, definitely understandable on her actions in the Nibelungenlied. The only thing she and Ildico/Hildako really have in common is "last wife of Attila/Etzel" (poor Ildico 😔).

And dear anon, I'm already ahead on you on the "don't think about it too hard" front and just go with the flow. With how fast and loose the writers (most often Nasu) love to play around with the rules (it's been said or at least heavily implied that Charlie and his Paladins are fictional, yet Astolfo has a catalyst back in Apoc), loving to synch up figures who don't have much of a connection in the first place/barely do have one (Indra and Gozu Tennou, Tamamo and Amaterasu, Kama and Mara, Scáthach and Skadi, Vincent van Gogh and Clytie...), and sometimes just not thinking shit through, it's just best to not take it too seriously.

If any of the writers do decide to take cues from the Nordic versions of the Nibelungenlied (which is rather doubtful, since it's not guaranteed that those have been translated into Japanese) and do bring up the had children with this person thing, it probably would be hand-waved by "alien ways" or something similar.

#ask #and don't get me started on the Nasuverse-original shenaniganary #I can still barely understand how Quantum Timelocks work #what the FUCK are Textures in the context of the Nasuverse??? #I can somehow understand any series that's (in)famous for being confusing without much of a problem #but the Nasuverse lore and terminology trips me the fuck up #*another series not any series gdi me

Battle of the Catalaunian Plains - 451 AD - Gaul

"… led by the Roman general Flavius Aetius and by the Visigothic king Theodoric I – against the Huns and their vassals – commanded by their king Attila. It proved one of the last major military operations of the Western Roman Empire, although Germanic foederati composed the majority of the coalition army. Whether the battle was strategically conclusive remains disputed: the Romans possibly stopped the Huns' attempt to establish vassals in Roman Gaul. However, the Huns successfully looted and pillaged much of Gaul and crippled the military capacity of the Romans and Visigoths."

(One cool battle that stopped the Huns from conquering the rest of Europe)
