Let's take a closer look at the words, here. The empire was begun in Rome, a prominent city. The empire, quite naturally, started being referred to as the Rome an empire. Drop that "e" and add the "an", and you wind up with Roman. So the name, "Roman Empire" was named after the city, not the other way around.
