This seems to be using scale and price changes to mislead. The modern equivalent would be Lebron James funding a school system, which seems like a similar commitment. We can imagine Lebron eg paying the police force of Cleveland for a quarter of a year. Perhaps more comparable numbers to Rome. Nothing about the numbers for the globe or the us compare to ancient Roman numbers.
