Germanicus trilogy
The ''Germanicus'' trilogy is an alternate history trilogy of books written by Kirk Mitchell, consisting of ''Procurator'', ''New Barbarians'' and ''Cry Republic''. It is set in an alternate world in which Rome never fell, after Pontius Pilate pardons Joshua bar-Joseph (Christ), and the Romans win a decisive victory at Teutoberg Forest and Latinize Greater Germania.
==The World==
The world of the Germanicus trilogy is portrayed as being stagnant and technologically backwards compared to our timeline, a fact that Germanicus blames on the archaic imperial system of government. With a force of slave-labourers, Rome never industrialised, limiting the extent to which it can modernise. This means that technology advances only through necessity. One of the themes of the novel is the extent to which Rome has stagnated; the imperial system and government has remained virtually untouched for two thousand years. This becomes prevalent in the war against the Aztecae, during which Roman galleys, still reliant on boarding an enemy boat are decisively defeated by the Aztec/Serican fleet who utilise true battleships. This conflict provokes a major naval rethink, and Roman battleships start to be developed.
