when you fall down the stairs, do you timestamp the moment you tripped, the moment you landed at the bottom, or every moment you hit each and every step on the way down?
In some ways, this is worse, because they hit metaphorical stairs the whole way up as well, and where the “top” is is a matter of what you want to measure.
It’s very not-the-circlejerk, but maybe 13 should be “Rome never existed in the first place”.

The bottom, but no one knows how long the stairway was and the steps seem to peter out into smaller and smoother ramps the lower you go.
Beautiful.

Your correction should be “The Roman Empire…”. The city of Rome existed without a doubt. (So did the empire, but it fits what you’re saying.)
