Carantanian Empire flag map

Description

A project i am planning.
What if the Celts in Central Europe would have been able to form a empire of their own ? And this is the result, a powerful, celtic country in Europe. It is called Carantania, you may wonder why i have choosen this name. The Kingdom of Noricum (called Kingdom of Carantania in my timeline) was the founding member.
Carantania is celtic and means "Land of the friends or Land of the allies". In this timeline, Noricum was called Carantania instead of Noricum. The Roman Empire collapsed before the celtic culture of Noricum could have been assimilated.
the celts in Noricum form a union with the Gauls in Gallia. However, Gallia is more romanized than Noricum, since in this timeline, Noricum never was incorporated as Roman province, it was a satellite state of the Roman empire though. And the Roman empire collapses earlier in this timeline around 80 AD

Later this union breaks apart because of a civil war and two countries remain, the rather romanized France and Carantania, which speaks the Norican/Carantanian language, which was similar to gaulish.

The Carantanian Empire is a quite aggressive, militarist country the Magyar kingdom gets conquered aswell as slavic kingdoms in the balkan.

the flag is based on the flag of the royal family, which is black-white.The red stripe stands for the blood which was shed during the war of Independence. The dragon is a common symbol in the empire and the Royal Family also uses a dragon in their coat of arms.

If Carthage had defeated Rome, maybe something like this could've happened. However, I think the territories would bit a bit different.
