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.

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

As for the Ukraine proxy war, the people got screwed very badly there on both sides. I am ashamed my government supported it.
Yes. The average life expectancy of a human for instance is a useful statistic in healthcare, social services, financial and retirement planning, etc.
You’re all worried about statistics and the poor guy can’t even read.
Cliodynamics and Structural-Demographic Theory suggests cycles of 200-300 years as well.
I wish liberals could actually read.
It’s not just Glubb. The Changing World Order by Ray Dalio also arrives at the 250 year number.
Regardless, that is the number we are interested in.
We’re talking about the average life expectancy of an empire. It’s a fairly straightforward calculation if one has all the data ready.
250 years is just a rough estimate. As an expert, what’s the number you’ve arrived at?
Maybe the downvoters are just waiting for a credible western media outlet to pick up the story.
Oh wait… 🤔
Least mentally deranged neoliberal btw.

Maybe he just hasn’t seen all the evidence yet. He just started after all.
I watched it on youtube - not really into all that military stuff personally but I’m glad I saw it.
Average western news enjoyer
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.
