Defining a timeline between the rise and fall of two great empires is a difficult task. The Roman Empire lasted approximately 800 years and Our Empire in Europe only spans 40 years (so far). But within our Reign over Europe we have in fact conquered more territory than the Romans ever did. Proof? I knew you’d ask. Here's the extent of the Roman Empire: If you add to the above, Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, USSR, Ukraine, Crimea and Iceland, you have all the territories where Liverpool have won or knocked out teams in European Competitions.
