who else do you propose?

No. You can't just take a country name and put empire behind it after not having any relations to Roman legacy for a thousand years. That is what autists do.

Considering Karl the Great was German, yes.

>To be an empire you have to be connected to Rome
What?

technically thats how it was, since the title of caesar/czar/kaiser/imperator/emperor always claimed lineage from rome directly

but after napoleon did it no one gave a shit anymore

I know the english word emperor comes from the roman word, but there are plenty of empires that had no connection to Rome.

no there was the roman emperors and charlemagne before
but of western francia specifically then yes it's Napoleon

>he did not even read the article and does still not understand what Imperium means

I know what imperium means.

oh please, Augustus turned his name into a title through nothing more than his personal competence
the simple truth is that you are emperor if you get others to recognize you as such

>a Corsican
>a minor noble and thus a race onto its own
>French
Pick one

No he gave his new office the name of an old privilege.

Which was still in power btw.

Typical Irish women

Second from the left is cute but could easily see her being a bitch.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no, maybe.

Napoleon found the title of emperor in the gutter
and he simply picked it up

But the Russian tsar was powerful

Claudius was born at Lyons.
