    You could debate whether or not the Roman Empire fell in 1453, if we’re pretending that the Byzantine’s represented a cohesive enough continuation to the traditional empire as we understand it. For the record, I don’t subscribe to that idea. But it’s a debatable topic.

    But Rome, the City, had nothing to do with the empire after 476, and arguably even earlier since the capital of the west had moved on to Mediolanum a long time before that.
