Historically, the Roman Empire was the dominant great power in Europe in the first few centuries AD and the first major empire of its kind and left behind a legacy that would form the very foundation for European civilisation of subsequent ages. While the Western Roman Empire ceased to exist long before the era covered by Europa Universalis IV, the Eastern Roman Empire continued to survive as Flag of Byzantium Byzantium. Any Christian or Pagan nation other than the Flag of Holy Roman Empire Holy Roman Empire or the Flag of Papal States Papal States can restore the Roman Empire by decision after re-conquering most of the historical Empire. The other way to play the Roman Empire is to restore the Roman Empire as Flag of Byzantium Byzantium in Crusader Kings II and converting the save to EU4 using the Europa Universalis 4 Save Converter.

Ironically the Roman Empire can reform into the Flag of Holy Roman Empire Holy Roman Empire by becoming emperor of the HRE and revoking the privilegia and centralising the Empire.

Additionally, the Roman Empire has a very special effect upon formation, as it will convert all provinces of the nation's primary culture group to Roman Culture and set that as the primary culture. This is unique because this is the only way to rediscover a lost culture aside from custom nations and console commands.

If the Roman Empire gains a parliament through any reform that grants one (such as Parliamentarism for example), it will be named the Senate, as a reference to the Roman Senate which existed throughout the Republican and Imperial periods of Rome.

Not since the Romans in the second century has one empire commanded the entirety of the Mediterranean and beyond. If we claim this land, we can scoff at whatever pretenders may claim in Constantinople or the Holy Roman Empire and proclaim ourselves the true successors of Rome.
