No, the Roman empire became the iron/clay mixed empire of Daniel via the RCC, then the real persecution and deceptions began, murdering millions through the dark ages to eradicate anti RCC "rebels".
actually the church of Christ conquered the pagan Roman Empire
that’s why the true church is Roman Catholic
to the victor (Christ) go the spoils!

1 Peter 4:11

Christ appointed Peter, the apostles, and their successors to govern the church and administer the kingdom until He returns in glory!
Submission and obedience to them is submission and obedience to Christ!
Like Joseph under pharaoh the king and his brothers bowed in obedience to Him as God willed!
But Protestant fundamentalists will not, for satan the first Protestant was in rebellion against God saying: I will not serve! I will not obey!
So who is you’re leader?
All those who submit and obey are Christ’s!
Those who do not are satan’s!
