Dazzlings take part in the battle, but victory and the salvation of Archimedes takes the life of Halamon, the adoptive son of Adagio, Aria and Sonata. he dies during battle leaving his son Neucas.
“In actual history, Archimedes was killed by a Roman soldier (for not being ready to meet his officer), against the soldier’s orders from his superior not to kill him.”
His superior was the famed general Marcus Claudius Marcellus, who is thought to have considered pressing Archimedes into Roman service. Marcellus continued fighting against the Carthaginians and their allies, but was killed in a Carthaginian ambush in 208 BCE. Hannibal, his archenemy, had trouble believing that Marcellus was dead and asked to personally examine the corpse. Hannibal reportedly gave Marcellus a proper funeral, and send his ashes to Marcellus’ son.
It is just another alternate-history Earth that has several EqG characters, with the characters being optional. If not for the Dazzlings, then someone else would have helped Carthage beat Rome.
On the other hand, Carthage beating Rome would have resulted in a modern age heavily influenced by Phoenician culture (so things would look more Middle Eastern ||, and Rainbow Rocks would have the Dazzlings reenacting the myth of Baal defeating Yam ||), while the EqG-verse has Roman or European influences.

Exactly, check the artist description in every image has make an alternative vision. for example he puts a victory for Epirus and the second punic war Cartage and Hannibal won the war.

Since Archimedes was saved from death in this scenario, can we consider this as “alternate history”?

It seems like Carthage managed to reign supreme here.

… So wait, the reason that EQG Earth is so different from ours is because Carthage beat Rome?
