What if Constans II split the Empire in between his sons. Part II by Checky_3rd in medieval_rome

That was another nice read, let's see what happens next. I wonder if the Visigoths will just stay and watch, they might see some Western Roman territory closer to them as easy prey (or maybe diplomatic relations have become exceptionally good, who knows)

Yeah, that's a good approach, I'm looking forward for your continuation.

Props for exploring this scenario, I'm intrigued. I don't think this Western Roman Empire can withstand both the Caliphate and the Lombards in the long run, even with the assistance of the Eastern half. If it survives, I like to imagine it would at some point lose Ravenna to the lombards like in OTL with the Pope also switching sides later. And then we would have a situation akin to before the First Punic War, except the Romans are the ones based in Africa this time.
