Posit a Roman Empire that has survived with its typical borders long enough that they have a modern level of technology, comparable to ours in all respects. With such resources as an empire would have, and with fewer likely political constraints (not as many borders), what projects might they undertake?

A few possibilities:
- Gibraltar Tunnel/Bridge
- Sicily-Africa Tunnel
- Sicily-Italy Tunnel/Bridge
- Otranto Tunnel
- Bosphorus Canal
- Suez Canal (shouldn't take it for granted just because we did it already)
- Qatara Sea
- Sahara Sea

Thoughts and other possibilities?
