r/ByzantiumAltHistory

(Pay no attention to the other parts of the map only anotolia )

Sooo imagine this after manzikert romanos wins the civil war and and keeps going on campgain he can’t do much against the Turkish might but he can slow it down

The Roman’s lose all the border territory protecting them in the east and the Turks raid anotolia but with. Strong imperial figure like romanos they hold the land eventually Alexios komenios rises up around the time he did in our own timeline but has most of anotolia to work with like the in the second image

And if anything it’s almost like a return to the old day but instead of teh caliphates raids with Arabs it’s Turkish nomads what do u think happens next ?

Byzantium will shine its power in the legacy of rome once more
