-Alphinian Time Periods-
Tranquility (BE1056-BE508: the Alphinian Empire expands throughout Graecia and Emeraldia and colonizes Tangierea, Palmyrenia, Monopathia Isle, Appelodonia, the Tripolitania and Caninite Islands and the Ezbackr mini-continent. This was an era of peace and prosperity through the Empire, and this is when the Empire is at it's greatest expanse in history.)
Classical (BE508-AE7: The colonies on Ezbackr and in Sagiteria (west) split off into their own nations, in the Late Classical Ages (BE49-AE7), wars start to ravage the Ezbackr lands as kingdoms and republics attack eachother and the Roman Republic starts to expand into other lands.)
Antiquity (AE7-AE836: Rise of the Roman Empire; end of the Republic. Rome expands it's Empire and takes control of Maresillia, all of Sagiteria, including the Arab lands, the tip of Graecia (from Luxemburg to Centos) and the entirety of Ezbackr. Rome builds the Hadrian across the Sagiteria to block Equestria off from the Roman world. While Alphinia trades with Equestria and becomes an ally of the nation. Alphinia also has subsequent wars with Rome throughout these centuries. And in Late Antiquity (AD607-AD836) the Alphinians help rebuild the Equestrian cities after the reign of Discord.)
Middle/Dark Ages (AD836-AD995: In these 2 centuries, Rome becomes internally weakened from numerous Griffin attacks (like the famous Sacks of Maresillies and Rome) and the Roman world becomes economically and politically weakened from the countless civil wars. The Roman Empire splits into three weakening states; The Palmyrene Empire, The Luxemenian Empire, and the Eastern Roman Empire.)
Reconquista and Reestablisment (AE995-AE1309: the Alphinians reconquer the weakened Roman territories (like Maresillia, Appelo, Palmyra, Anitoch, Leptis Magna, Arabia, Tangier {Tingis}, Monopathia, and Contantinople, while the Roman Empire falls and splits into 2 kingdoms, the Empire of Neapolis, and the Kingdom of Damascus. From 1006-1019, Contantinople becomes independent and reestablishes as the Byzantine Empire (with the Kingdom of Damascus as part of the empire aswell), the councils of Appelo and Maresillia vote to join the Kingdom of Equestria and in 1011 get added as territories to the kingdom, and Luxia becomes independent in 1015, while the old colonies of Tangierea, Palmyrenia, and Monopathia stay apart of Alphinia not wanting to mix their cultures. In 1309, Saddle Arabia becomes an independent nation with the Roman city of Leptis Magna apart of it aswell.
Harmonitax (AE1309 to AE1975: The era of Harmony across in the pony nations of Alphinia)
Elemental Age (AE1975 to on...: The events of the show and on...
Also, the Byzantine Empire falls into chaos and anarchy.
