What if Rome, or rather the aspect of being "Roman" took on a spiritual connotation during the time of the Republic and Empire to point where being "Roman" was similar to the pseduo-spiritual/volkish nature of being French, Russian or German during the age of nationalism.

Could the Empire cope with an earlier rise of ethno-nationalism from its most enfranchised citizenry?

Would see see "Romans" (people who could genelogically claim descendancy from those of antiquity) around today if this occurred.
