Salva sis demidiva Heraklia

I can appreciate your problem as I am now trying to convert over to DSL and running into problems. And too over-committed elsewhere at the moment to visit AW much these days.

Would things have been different if there had not been a Civil War? I think if the Senate had agreed to allow Caesar to run for consul in abstentia there would have come an eventual confrontation anyway. The only way that a Civil War would have been avoided would have been if Pompeius had once more allied with Caesar, probably as colleague consuls. The period you look at is when Caesar instituted many of his reforms. Maybe some are too technical to draw much interest for the list. Together with Pompeius he probably could have instituted most of them anyway. One thing that would have been different would have been Rome's involvement with Egypt. Likely that would have fallen into Pompeius' sphere of interest rather than Caesar's. Alone or together, both would still have been long remembered.
