In my opinion, any following emulator is lacking of the deep spirituality (not religion: it's not enough) of the Romans. "Repubblicans" or "imperials", they remained deeply "Romans", through the changes and through the assimilations. Not just a monarchy, or a language, or a nation kept them all "Romans": it was the spirit of Roma, its Myth, its traditions, the "Genius loci" you could find in the whole Empire (yes, that "Genius loci" was "global").<br>
<br>
About U.S.A. empire: maybe, but I don't see the public thermae in any little town yet, I can see just a lot of Mc Donalds.<br>
<br>
But above all (none be offended) I don't feel any real imperial atmosphere...<br>

... Tu modo nascenti puero, quo ferrea primum
desinet ac toto surget Gens Aurea mundo,
casta faue Lucina; tuus iam regnat Apollo ...
Vergilius, Bucolicae, ecloga IV, 4-10
