Roman Exodus

The Roman Exodus (Vulgar Latin: Exodus Romanus; Classical Latin: Exodus Romanus; Greek: Ῥωμαϊκὴ Ἔξοδος, romanized: Romaïkí Éxodos), also known as the Third Odyssey (Vulgar Latin: Tertium Iter; Classical Latin: Tertium Odysseia; Greek: Τρίτη Οδύσσεια, romanized: Tríti Odýsseia) refers to the evacuations performed by the Romans prior to the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire in Earth-ANIME.To differentiate these similar but delineated empires, the former would be called the Imperium Romanum while the latter would be called the Basileia Rhomaion.

Palmyrene Exodus 	Queen Zenobia I Antonius-Ptolemaios 	The Palmyrene Exodus was organized and executed after Queen Zenobia I secretly fled alongside her children a few days before the Roman legions under Imperator Aurelianus returned to Palmyra to burn it to the ground. Launched from Sinai and Upper Egypt, the Palmyrene refugees - consisting of Palmyrans, Egyptians, Arameans, Greeks and some Romans - fled aboard Roman ships built in secret should Palmyra ever falls. Through sympathetic Novayan officers, the Palmyrene fleet fled through a portal hastily opened by Novayan thaumaturges and arrived in another world.

*Population number: 7,000-13,000
*Launching point(s): Coastal Upper Egypt, Sinai	
*Continuation of the Palmyrene Empire 	The Palmyrene remnants would eventually be reorganized as the Neo-Palmyrene Empire.
Gallic Exodus 	Imperator Posthumus II 	The Gallic Exodus was organized and executed even before the fall of Hispania. After taking several ships already built and meant for expeditions west towards North America, a select number of Gauls, Romano-Gallics, Romano-Hispanics, Romano-Germanics, Romano-Britons and some loyal Romans were sent west where a Novayan submarine flotilla's assigned thaumaturge opened a portal to another world.

*Population number: 20,000-21,000
*Launching point(s): Hispania; Dumnonia, Britannia; southern Britannia	
*Continuation of the Palmyrene Empire 	
Western Roman Exodus	Rex Syagrius I 	The Western Roman Exodus was hastily organized and executed after it is made clear to Syagrius his position was thoroughly compromised. After pulling some strings with at least some remaining Novayan military personnel who remain sympathetic to the Roman plight in northern Gaul,Lord Admiral Borealis I assumed that all of Gaul, Britannia, Germania and Hispania collapsed an unauthorized and unexpected exodus was launched, culminating in the Western Roman fleet entering a portal that leads them to another world.
-------
*Fleet size: 11 triremes, 10 quadriremes, 6 quinqueremes, 7-8 dromons
*Population number: 13,000-15,000
*Launching point(s): Soissons, Gaul	
*Sith infiltration compromised the Kingdom of Soissons' integrity
*Salian Franks under Clovis I seeks to invade and take over Soissons 	
Spanian Exodus 	Comitissa et magistrix utriusque militae per Spaniae Borealis(?)	The Spanian Exodus caught some assigned military personnel off-guard when it was launched after the Provincia Spaniae was conquered by the Visigoths. According to several high-ranking Visigoths, the Spanian Exodus was launched as part of an agreement to allow some of the Romans to evacuate in exchange for Cartageno Spartaria to not be destroyed.
-------
*Fleet size: 21(?) ships
*Population number: 29,000(?)
*Launching point(s): Cartageno Spartaria	 	
African Exodus 	Exarchissa Borealis(?) 	The attacks of the Rashidun and later Umayyad Caliphate had initiated an exodus strategy that was prepared for some time should the Exarchate of Africa ever falls. Unlike most exoduses, the African Exodus was considered the most prepared owing to the fact the praetorian prefects and later exarchs per Africam had learned of the previous exoduses. Already building up a large number of ships necessary to transport some or most of the exarchate's urban and rural populace with support from Novayan sympathizers, the Rashidun and Umayyad Caliphates' attacks had signaled the evacuation to commence. Under the leadership of a female exarchissa, the African Exodus fleet was successful in fleeing west and entering a portal opened up by a number of Novayan thaumaturges who had gone rogue.
-------
*Fleet size: 127 ships
*Population number: Some or most of the exarchate's population
*Launching point(s): Various	 	
Italic Exodus 	Exarchissa Borealis(?) 	Considered the smallest of the exodus, the Italic Exodus was launched from Ravenna after the Lombards began their invasion of Byzantine-held Italia. The evacuation of Ravenna would involve the evacuation of some or most of the city's populace and then fleeing southwards by sea with assistance from sympathetic Novayan thaumaturges, who violated protocols to assist in the evacuation to another world.
-------
*Fleet size: 39(?)
*Population number: Some or most of the city of Ravenna
*Launching point(s): Ravenna	
*Under Lombardic threat 	
Byzantine Exodus 	Basileus Konstantinos XI 	The Byzantine Exodus, or Rhomaion Exodus, was by far the most largest of all the Roman exoduses. Rivaling that of the African Exodus, the Byzantine Exodus would involve the evacuation of the city of Constantinople and almost the entirety of the peoples of the capitals of the Morea, Trezibond, Theodoro and Epirus, assisted by renegade Novayan forces, Ottoman forces under Mehmed II and special operations units sent by Fleet Admiral Constantine Norsoutha in response to Lord Admiral Borealis I's mind control via thaumic and psychic control beacons and artifacts of the Ottoman forces. Portugal, an ally of the Byzantines, received a message from Constantine XI that the Third Odyssey was successful.
-------
*Fleet size: 132 ships
*Population number: 1,000,000-2,000,000
*Launching point(s): Constantinople, Morea, Trezibond, Theodoro, Epirus	Because Lord Admiral Borealis I was finally driven mad from discovering the Sith's presence in Constantinople in 1443, his now-genocidal hatred of the Sith consumed him and alarmed several military personnel. Mehmed II, who wished to restore the Roman Empire to its former glory, cooperated with the Byzantine remnants and Novayan renegades to enact the Mehmed Plan or Byzantine Plan, which would be updated to include a return of Byzantium in some form should the exodus failed.	Despite fears and concerns, the exodus was successful in bringing the remnants of Byzantium to another Earth. According to memoirs written by Mehmed II, Fleet Admiral Constantine confirmed to him that the Rhomaions had indeed landed in the same spot as Washington DC, and were now beginning to start a new life. Eventually, the Byzantines would later transform into the Elysians who would later go on to transform the exiled empire of Rhomania into the Elysian Empire and, through it, the Kingdom of Spartania. The birth of the Elysian Orthodox Church, Aztlanism and Elysian Hellenism had also appeared there.
