Launch of the Roman Expeditionary Fleet
In 4 BCE, Emperor Octavian commissioned the launch of a expedition into Africa - the Roman settlers and troops were to sail through the Straits of Gibraltar, sail south around the coast of Africa, and attempt to land in Egypt, as part of a cartography programme launched in 7 BCE. The fleet, under command of Gaius Marcus Decidius, successfully sailed around the Cape of Good Hope (then known as the Amiculum ab Triumphus; however, torrential storms blew the fleet eastward past Australia - deemed unhabitable by a scouting party - and landed in Northern Eurasia, at the present-day location of Triumphe, Eurasia in 3 BCE.
Settlement of the north
Utilising celestial navigation and dead-reckoning, the one hundred thousand Romans determined that, by 2 BCE, the probability of engaging in a successful trip home were Lilliputian in margin. Ergo, Decidius declared that he was the new Emperor of the land, which he christened Eurasia, in recognition of its cultural heritage and its geographic location.
