—contemporary civilizations.

do you want to venture out of the usual setting of Rome when writing an Acacius fic and broaden your world-building? the Roman Empire Acacius was born in lasted from 27 BC to 395 AD (movie is set in 196 AD) and during that time, Rome fought against, conquered, traded with or formed allyships with several civilizations. this is a list of some of those, with a wider range in both time and space for those who enjoy AUs, which hopefully will serve as inspiration.
