The Holy Roman Empire was just one of many western leaderships that tried to take up the mantle.

Yes the general values of Rome have lived on but you can't say we actually live in anything like the Roman Empire at its height. You have to consider the disparity in technology. In their times the fastest way to get somewhere was to by a sailing ship or ride a horse. Today we can travel across the globe in 1 day in a fucking jetplane and we have cars and god-tier roads. If there was anything like the SPQR today, it would rule most of the globe un-opposed. EU, UN, USA, none of them come close to the glory of the unity that the based SPQR represented back in the day.

>god-tier roads

Actually I think it's kinda interesting how shitty our roads are compared to everything else. We can send people to space, but roads are still made out of easily crack-able cement, with potholes everywhere in a lot of places.

Rome is Babylon, and Babylon is falling.

Actually the roads where I live are pretty well kept, which weakens my argument I guess.

The Romans had far better concrete, the recipe for which we've only very recently rediscovered.

>>979444
yes

Not that I disagree entirely, but I think you are conflating a lot of Christianity with Rome.
