When was Rome doomed?

[KozaK13]

The romans believed that aslong as the empire was believed in, then there was a roman empire.

Did Moussolini claim to be rebuilding the roman empire at any point? cus i get the suspicion he may have.

Also don't forget Napolean...toga, leafy crown thing, empire, triumphal arches, emperor...

Infact rome may have contined in the guise of:
the "Barbarian" kingdoms, ottoman empire, Holy roman empire(lesser extent obviously), Muscovy, Russian Empire, Napolean's empire, Moussolini's Italy and even the third riech...all aspired to be like the roman empire, perhaps aslong as that ideal lives there will be roman empires.

Romans were not even a distinct ethnic grop, anyone could have been a roman citizen, from the army or being a freed slave.

Perhap rome has yet to fall....aslong as there is the potential to recreate it then it is still there.

Sorry for being abit off topic and maybe completely wrong aswell.
