The Romans conquered the whole of Europe to the Rhine river, Britannia, as far as modern day Turkey to the south. Furthermore they ruled the Middle East and a good part of Western Asia. You could argue that the modern day Popes are the remnants of an Empire that still exists today.
How is that local?
