Facts
1.) Don't use Google Translate to translate Latin. 2.) Imperium is a Latin word roughly translating to "authority." In the old Roman Republic, if you were given command of an army, you were given the power, or imperium, to command that army. Because in the days of the Empire the Emperor was considered the supreme authority, his imperium was the entire Roman Empire. 3.) Imperium Empire, then, translates to "Authority Empire." |

| Well, you're using older latin then because the Eastern Romans called themselves Imperium Romanum, or Roman Empire. |

I think "Imperium" looks a lot more like "Empire" than "Authority", sir.

@Sun
Which could also be translated as the authority to assume the title of the Roman Empire as the actual Roman West had collapsed to barbarian invasion.
@cool
I don't care. |

| Eastern Rome changed the word Imperium to the meaning Empire from Authority, why I do not know, under which Emperor I do not know, its stuck ever since though because the Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire, was a power of its time before it fell due to an idiotic tyrant causing the entire southern half of the Empire Empire (Africa - Southern Anatolia) to rebel against Eastern Roman Authority. |

"1. The empire, state, imperial government, realm, dominion 2. The right or power of commanding, authority, command, might; dominion, sovereignty, sway. 3. The exercise of authority, rule, law, control. 4. A command, order, direction, bidding."
What you fail to realize, is that with Latin..., all of those different definitions are theoretically correct.
So, they would be just as correct in saying "Empire Empire", as you would be in saying "Authority Empire". Obviously, it's not what you intended, but in Latin, it is correct. |
