There is a picture to be drawn but Kim has no empire and no legions. His pond is so small, one wonders if he is really a duck

This is one of the lamest attempts to draw historical parallels that I have seen. The “parallel” is that you have one member of a family taking control of a dictatorship and then killing off the other family members. It happened over and over and over again through out history until monarchy was replaced with democracy.

While I'm glad to see that at least one reporter at the LA Times has some passing familiarity with Roman history, there is no relationship between the Julio Claudian dynasty and the Kim dynasty.
The Julio Claudians rose to power on the corpse of the Roman Republic. The Kims were put in power after the conquest of Japan by Stalin. Nero was a step son. Jong-un, while he may not have been crown prince, is an hereditary heir to Il-sung.
The only similarity between Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus and Kim Jong-un is that they were both little fat psychos. And anyone who thinks it would be a good thing if the Kim dynasty ended like the Julio Claudians should read a little further into the events of 69 AD and the rule of those fun loving Flavians.

Caligula had his horse.
Kim has his horse's ass.

Except Rome had far more resources; this is a tempest in a pitiful teapot.
