I'm sorry, dude, I don't mean to be unkind, but that's nuts. The Roman empire fell because they tried to take over everything they possibly could, got themselves into wars they couldn't support, made enemies out of EVERYBODY, and got their butts handed to them by the people they were trying to exploit.

And good riddance. I've never been fond of Rome. A strong military is not actually qualification for running anything. Might does not make right.
