"The British Empire lasted more than three and a half centuries - almost as
long as the Roman Empire."

Horse feathers.

Rome was founded around 500 BC. The western portion of the Roman Empire
fell around 500 AD but the Eastern portion kept on kicking until
Constantinople fell to the Turks around 1500 AD.

3.5 Centuries != 2000 years.

sour grapes....
