most powerful?Edit

I'm not going to revert the anon. changes, but just wanted to point out that both the British and American empires were almost "two thousand" years later than Rome...and I believe the original verbage was "for nearly two thousand years was the most powerful", so I think it was not a pov issue since it was qualified with a time period.
