Your stuff is so good, I can't wait to watch your channel grow and be super successful. Good history is hard to come by with all the fake ai channels around.
During the First World War, Canadian infantry units were recruited/organized by Battalion. There were about 260 such units raised through 1919. They tended to be organized either by geographic area (Province, District, large city) or ethnicity (e.g. Scottish, Irish, French) as cohesive units. Starting in about 1916, however, Battalions were normally disbanded upon arrival in Europe and used to reinforce existing units. Could something similar have happened to the 9th Hispania? Rather than bring decimated in battle, it may just have been dissolved to reinforce other units, and so it ceased to have a seperate identity. The absence of records presents a challenge, but did this type of thing ever happen to other Legions?
I can't help but view the Aeneid as the ancient equivalent of Star Wars getting a sequel trilogy. I wonder if it was received with similar excitement or enthusiasm?
The thing with conspiracies is that real ones tend to involve just a few people trying to achieve a relatively simple goal. The more complex your goal is, the more failure points it has and the more people involved, the more risk one of them backstabs the others and blabs to the public. Hell, Julius Caesar's assassination was as simple a conspiracy as it gets, just "knife this guy before he leaves the city", and the sources we have indicate it was practically a hair's breadth from being foiled anyway. Of course, there's the kind of "conspiracy" that's more of an open secret, like corporate lobbying or election gerrymandering, and those are absolutely real, but they're not nearly as exciting as "Rome never existed wake up sheeple"

I am playing Rome II when I thought about which greek city states colonized southern italy (Magna Graecia) and was wondering if you knew.
