        The Roman Empire split in 395 AD. The Western Roman Empire, including the city of Rome itself, fell in 476 AD.

          Forget about averages, his post isn’t even factually correct. Rome did not last 1,480 years.

            depends how you define Rome, from 753bc and the Byzantine empire lasted all the way to 1453CE. so Rome lasted longer if you count it as the Roman empire.

              The Roman Empire began in 27 BC with Augustus, the first emperor of Rome. It eventually split in half in 395 AD. The Western Roman Empire, including the city of Rome itself, fell in 476 AD. The Eastern Roman Empire, or the Byzantine Empire was centered on Constantinople, not Rome.

                yhea, but they still considered themselves Roman.

                the point is that it is impossible to determine when exactly an empire begun or ended.

                we could argue for weeks and the Roman empire, and that’s just one of countless empires.

                  The point is Rome did not last 1,480+ years as you and the other poster claimed, not even close. Odoacer conquered Rome and became the first barbarian king of Italy in 476 AD.
