Donald Trump's 30-minute inaugural address combined the typical, soaring rhetoric of a new president with some of his grievance from the campaign trail.
Ackshually it’s only 2000 years in the east (up until 1453) if you count the kingdom and republic (which would make it 1000 years in the west, up to the traditional date of 476) assuming the traditional ab urbe condita date of 753 BC.
I said almost 2000 years. It lasted from, officially, 476 BCE to 1453 CE, that’s 1929 years. Which is almost 2000 years, like I said.
When it comes to the West, the empire officially was made in 27 BCE with the first Emperor. I don’t think the republic really counted because all historical articles I can find say it lasted 503 years, not 1000. From 27 BCE to 476 CE.
Also, 753 BCE isn’t the Roman empire. It was the founding of Rome itself, meaning the city.
I’m just saying it only lasted 2000 years if you could the republic, in which case it lasted 1000 years in the west (traditionally until Augustulus was deposed in 476) not 500 years. I realize this has nothing to do with the topic at hand and I’m just being a pedant.

Ah I misread a bit of what you said. Thanks for the clarification.
Edit: Fixed the dates in the original post
No worries, I didn’t explain myself very well. If you’re in the US, take care today.
