In this thread, we pick any country in the world and explain how it is the true successor of the Roman Empire
For example: England is the true successor of the Roman Empire, because England's heir apparent or Caesar as the Byzantines would say, is the Prince of Wales, and Wales includes Deheubarth, and Deheubarth was the last remnant of Romano-Britain, and Romano-Britain was the last remaining piece of the Roman Empire in the West.
Diocletian made Sirmium (roughly in modern Bosnia) a regional capital during the Tetrarchy, so technically, the whole Roman Empire is just greater Bosnia, and history has robbed the noble Bosnio-Roman people of their glorious inheritance
My perfect Rome is fluid, migrating every few hundred years as needed.
First Rome- based out of Rome (founding-476)
Second Rome- based out of Constantinople (476-717)
Third Rome- based out of Antioch (717-907)
Fourth Rome- based out of Persepolis (907-1225)
Fifth Rome- based out of Delhi (1225-1389)
Sixth Rome- based out of Bengal (1389-1526)
Seventh Rome- based out of Ayutthaya (1526-1765)
Eight Rome- based out of Guangzhou (1765-1842)
Ninth Rome- based out of San Fransisco (1843-1906)
Tenth Rome- based out of New York (1906-1929)
Eleventh Rome- based out of Lisbon (1929-1970)
Twelfth Rome- based out of Rome (1970-present)
No one understands how they've maintained legal continuity across time, geography, and culture, but somehow they've managed.
They swear each move made sense at the time.
