We are the last vestiges of the holy roman empire

Ummm, this plaque is a remnant of the pagan Roman Empire.

In AD 90, the Holy Roman Empire would have to wait another 600 years to start, was not all that holy, was established by a German (not a Roman), and not an empire (more a confederacy), long after the fall of the original Roman Empire.

long after the fall of the original Roman Empire.

The original Roman Empire did not fall till 1453, something like 5 centuries after the founding of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Eastern Roman Empire is often considered a separate entity as the Byzantine Empire, but there is no particularly logical reason to do so, as it had a continuous existence (with an intermission) from Constantine to its fall.

Okay, back to the history books for me!
