that's a bit cheap. There was a whole lot of Chinese Empires, while there was only 1 Roman Empire (and eventually, 2 when it splits up). There was different dynasties, but they all claimed to be heir of Caesar. Most of the Chinese Empires did not last more than a few centuries, and covered some different places.

The Capital of the Roman empire were Roma and Constantinople later on, while there was a dozen of capitals for the various Chinese kingdoms/empires.
