Sea travel during the time of the Roman Empire was characterized by wooden ships powered by sails and oars, relying heavily on weather conditions and navigational skills. In contrast, today’s sea travel employs advanced technology, including motorized vessels equipped with GPS and radar for navigation, vastly improving safety and efficiency. Additionally, the Roman maritime trade was limited to specific routes and seasonal travel, while modern shipping operates year-round on a global scale. This evolution has transformed maritime commerce and travel into a fast and interconnected system.
The Roman Empire is bigger than Italy today
The British Empire was way larger and was way closer to today than the Roman Empire.
No, there is no Roman empire today. Spain is an independent European country.

Charlemagne's empire was called the Empire of the Roman People. This was rather inconvenient, because the East Roman Empire was still operating and WA also called the Empire of the Roman People. So today, historians call Charlemagne's empire the Carolingian Empire and the East Roman Empire of the Middle Ages is called the Byzantine Empire.
The Roman Empire has been over for quite a number of years. They have no land holdings.
Yes. Type "Roman Empire" on Google and you'll see. In fact Europe was part of the Roman Empire since about half of it was in "Europe" as now defined, but the non-European parts - Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt, N Africa - had more than half the population, and the Eastern Empire (largely outside Europe) became the more important part over time.
The roads allowed troops and goods to travel fast. Some still exist today. I have been on the Appian Way one of the major Roman roads.
The Roman Empire covered what is not Italy, France, Spain, England, parts of Germany, Africa, and the Middle East.
On December 25, 800, Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Roman People by Pope Leo III in Rome, creating the empire we call the Carolingian Empire today, but Pope Leo and Charlemagne called the Roman Empire at the time. One little problem with this is that when the West Roman Empire fell in the 5th century, the East Roman Empire did not, and continued along, all the while calling itself the Roman Empire; today we call the medieval East Roman Empire the Byzantine Empire. Empress Irene was the empress of what she called the Roman Empire, and suddenly she got news that King Charles of the Franks was calling himself emperor of the Roman Empire. Of course, she was not happy about this.
The capital of the Roman Empire was Rome until 284. In that year the emperor Diocletian created a co-emperorship with himself in charge of the eastern part of the empire and Maximian in charge of the western part. He also designated also an imperial capital for the eastern part of the empire, which was Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey), and an imperial capital for the western part, which was Milan (in northern Italy). The emperor Constantine I moved the capital of the eastern part to the nearby Byzantium, which he renamed Constantinople (present day Istanbul). The capital of the western part was moved to Ravenna (also in northern Italy) in 402.
Roman religion died out nearly 2,000 years ago and we do not use it today. What we have inherited form the Romans are Catholic and Orthodox Christianity. Christianity spread around the Roman Empire and developed into the Catholic and Orthodox creeds in the Roman days. The former was the religion of the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the religion of the eastern part of the Roman Empire.
