just imagine having someone useless like Joe Biden be emperor for like 15 years

You don't bring the Roman empire back.....it comes to you when you are ready for it.
Leo Long
Sex slavery is only actually good thing out of all you posted.

joe biden is too dumb to become an emperor, he will probably die in less than 15 years and he is already in severe cognitive decline.

Rome was the original globohomo, it's the worst thing that happened to Europe. Studies shown that Rome was overrun with immigrants from Africa and Middle East (that more brown part of Mesopotamia) while poor white population suffered

>joe biden is too dumb to become an emperor
the roman empire has had plenty of dumb lazy emperors. those are the types have their pretorian prefect or if it's late roman empire, some barbarian general name Alric Bloodbeard

The Roman Empire was everything but an expansionist power.
For 3/4 of the Western Roman History it was a declining power. If you add to that over a thousand years of Eastern Roman History, you have an excruciatingly long period of imperial decline.
The imperivm romanvm was not the highpoint of the Roman history but the ending. It was the construct of a dying people bestowing their civilisational gains and wealth on vigorous barbarians in exchange for a little more decadence. Something, that should look very familiar to nowadays Westerners.

The parallels to modern history are even more biting:
this process was fermented by the devastations caused by the 1st century AD's civil wars, which just like the World Wars of the 20th century exhausted the integrity and biological substrate of the Roman state. In the end, the faction, which was most unscrupulous in bartering the foundations of Ancient Rome for external subsidiaries won out and degraded the res pvblica to an imperivm over Rome itself.
If the Chinese had more sophisticated historiography, one might see the same process happening there also. In case of the Abassid Caliphate the very same process is well documented.

Assassination ETA 15 minutes. He is way too retarded and senile to stay alive as an authoritarian unitary ruler

This. Rome was a brutal empire. They also get credit for things, that actually comes from the greeks.

not if he gave the legions ANOTHER "pay raise"

Roman cultural decline closely mirrored the decay of the state and the popvlvs.
A race of once noble warriors of unmatched skills was becoming so lowered, they only could cuckold their ancient godesses of Victoria and Gloria to foreign bulls fighting to the death in the arena. The emperor's thumb over life and death is the epitome of cuckoldry. Instead of claiming a life himself, he representing the masses of his people could only kindly order the barbarian man to do the deed for them.

We need an emperor and we need condemned criminals to fight to the death in the Colosseum.

I'd prefer the good ol' jews versus lions.

Seeing people you dislike die in the arena seems fun to me.
People can also become lion food.
