Touche sir, you know your history. Rome became too big to manage and made too many enemies. We don't go around butchering people in the sake of expansion then enslaving their people. They were fighting an invasion, from different armies, on multiple fronts. Not to mention Atilla collapsing their economy by making them pay him every time he took one of their cities. All empires fall or become something else. We will one day too. The fall of Rome set mankind back hundreds of years.
We have on huge strategic advantage though. All of the world's powers would have to travel a long distance to invade our lands. It's not like Rome where they were surrounded by their enemies. I'd say the republic is more at risk from within at this point.
