"I don't think he could've chosen that at all considering the political situation in the Roman empire at the time." You're mixing up the timeline. He chose Gaul when him and two dudes controlled the entire Roman empire. One of those dudes went East and died fighting there. "Everything you're saying is almost purely conjecture" Almost all historical analysis like this is conjecture. Some of it is just well reasoned and others is not.

Anyway, you're not really adding any information here and you're resorting to personal attacks, so I'm done here. Later!
