I think the Ottoman Empire cannot be considered a successor of Rome - did you mean the Byzantine Empire? (aka Eastern Roman Empire)

- mohanmcgeek 5y agoRussia, France, Spanish crown, Ottoman, HRE all claimed to be successors of Rome at some point.
- remarkEon 5y agoAs did America
- the-dude 5y agoAs did the Nazi's.
- mohanmcgeek 5y agoAmerica surely uses a lot of symbolism from the Roman Republic but I am not so sure they have ever claimed to be the successors to the throne once held by Julius Caesar, as all the other ones mentioned above have.
