Something Something Rome

Description

Updated!

The POD is a bit unclear, but starts with the Germans failing to catch the Romans by surprise in the Teutoburg forest, and Roman expansion pushing up to the Elbe before petering out. This gives the western Roman Empire more of a "buffer" during the age of barbaric invasion, so it survived with the loss of stuff north/east of the Seine and the British isles, and later the western Empire picked up the east after it had got beaten up on by Slavs and Nomads and Persians. History and stuff happen. (Not my scenario, a commission: we're still working out the detail of the TL which is supposed to actually get to this point. And yes, Christianity does arise, although Church is subordinate to the Emperor here.)

How would Islam rise in this AU? Wouldn't the changes be so great that Muhammad will never be born?
