Interesting; I'll read more of this. My take on it is that the Romans were tough but they weren't stupid. Their generals would surrender, and they would let the Marines step in as the new Roman government. Even Caesar Augustus would probably not order something as stupid as attacks against an MEU. They would have no idea how logistically limited the MEU was (if it had the fuel to reach Rome), and they would have no stomach for facing firearms.

They would have no idea how logistically limited the MEU wasEverything would depend on efficient utilization of the bluff. That is how Sgt. York achieved his coup against the Germans. The Marines would have to move fast to establish their authority before the Romans regrouped from the shock and awe. After that, everything would depend on the knowledgability of the Marines in metallurgy and chemistry to develop their own logistics.

Roman legionaries with sub-machineguns is slap-full of win.
