The Roman Empire lasted over a 1,000 years. Bureaucracy with staying power.

✓ TRUE FACT
Rome’s imperial era is often dated from 27 BCE (Augustus) to 476 CE in the West, and the Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire continued until 1453. So “over 1,000 years” is accurate when considering the full continuity.
