It needs a proper assessment of the nature of the 'empire'. While domination is necessary to define n empire, its motivation and effects are important. The ancient empires were not established to simply create domination, they were designed to promote stability and prosperity. The Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Macedonian and Roman Empires all met these criteria. The Romans established an empire long before they had emperors - the Roman Republic established an empire across Europe a century before the arrival of Augustus, and even Augustus and his successors didn't call themselves emperors for 200 years - they were Princeps = First Citizen. So it needs care in how the term is used both to describe the political control and the structure of geographic control.
