The Ottoman Empire controlled one leg of the Silk Road and it would have been practically impossible for the Silk Road to have passed outside of Ottoman Territory if a land route were used. (The northern path through Kipchak and Russian territory was so dangerous that nobody would attempt it.) As a result, all silk road trade was controlled and delimited by the Ottomans.
Greece was never an empire. Greece consisted of little city-states united by a common language and traditions, but they were never united under one ruler. Each city-state had it's own king or queen. You are probably referring to Alexander The Great's empire? Alexander was Macedonian, not Greek, so his was the Macedonian Empire, not the Greek Empire. The Macedonian Empire (which included some Greek city-states) ended when Alexander died in in 323BC - with no heir, the generals fought amongst themselves and ended up dividing his hard-earned empire into tiny chunks. Alexander's Macedonian Empire spanned across Macedonia, Greece, Egypt and Persia. With Alexander being vain, he named cities after himself (Alexandria, etc) so people would remember him.
I can not give an exact answer but I would estimate anywhere from 30-70% of Europe, because after the Second Punic War Rome gained most of its territory.
Diocletian divided the empire in order to make it more easy to manage. It had grown so large that it took weeks for messages and other communications to go from one end of the empire to the other. This was a serious issue regarding military and legal matters. By dividing the empire, it was thought that these problems would be eased.
The best answer to your question would be "a lot". During the time of Jesus the Roman empire, although not at it greatest extent, still ruled a vast amount of territory and peoples. All the ancient societies had slaves. There would be no way to determine their number as slaves were usually not counted in any census. Any figure given would only be a guess and not a fact.The best answer to your question would be "a lot".

If they did, they would have a civil way
Ancient Rome's empire had a very vast territory. At that time the population of the roman empire was one-fifth of the world population. so if you conquered Rome, you would have a vast territory with a ton of people, which means lots of labor force and a good army.
It wouldn't really be a country as much as an empire. The two would be the Soviet Union and the Ottoman Empire.
eastern orthodox and roman catholic church
Soviet Russia suffered major defeat in her history in Cold War. The result was a dispersal of Soviet Empire and end of Soviet Union. More than half of territory and population were lost forever. That was defeat from which there would never be a recovery.At Borodino.
There are many more than three modern countries that would have existed in the territory ruled by the Roman empire. The "big three" are Italy, France and Spain, but countries from the mid east to the Atlantic and from North Africa to Scotland were all ruled by Rome.There are many more than three modern countries that would have existed in the territory ruled by the Roman empire.

Politically, it was part of the Spanish Empire and as such, it was administered by a viceroy. Financially, it was the most successful territory of Spain, contributing a large percentage of the empire's income; the modern equivalent would be the economic contribution of California and Texas to the United States; losing such economies would be considered a great disaster, if not resulting into the dissolution of the union. In the case of Spain, Mexico was one of the first colonies to fight for its independence, in 1810; by 1830 most Spanish holdings in the Americas were independent .

It would take a long time to explain exactly who held what before World War 1 began, but the continent of Africa was almost completely divided and owned by the European countries. Several European countries, along with the US and Japan, maintained a presence in China, and the British held India. The Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were in decline, but they still held territory in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
An empire is defend as A political unit having an extensive territory or comprising a number of territories or nations and ruled by a single supreme authority... The US is Ruled by three (3) equal authorities which can be removed by its people ... So i would have to say NO...
