I'd say it counts.

No. Rome is probably the most relatively supreme power that has existed in world history. It isn't a meme at all.

Rome was powerful but this isn't true, there are plenty of other empires that wielded similar or more power.
Roman civilization just survived for a really long time, especially when you count Byzantium (which you should be)

>there are plenty of other empires that wielded similar or more power.

I said relative. There was no other comparable power with anywhere near Rome's prestige in its vicinity for over a thousand years, even when it was only the East. People like to massively overstate how powerful Sassanid Persia was, so it's easy to discount that. There was nobody on the frontiers who could even threaten Rome in any even substantial way. It was so powerful that the only thing that could kill it was itself.

Byzantine Empire is literally the memest empire thanks to butthurt shrimp dick white bois. That or some SE Asian/African """empire""".

Are you a downy?? He said 1000 years. Britain was formed in 1707. Rome fell in 476.

Yeah I misread what you meant by relatively.
Indeed, no one could destroy Rome but Romans themselves. The Parthian empire was pretty bad ass for a time as they posed an actual threat to Rome.
The Sassanids were also powerful. You shouldn't discount that they were beating the Byzantines into the ground (themselves too, really) until Heraclius showed up, either.
