I don't need to check roman history to know that. It still falls thousands of years into the scope of the time line. In fact the germanic influences on the Anglo Saxxons can be traced via the Roman Empire expansion and the desire to control it. 70 Lifetimes goes back thousands of years before the Roman Empire even started, even before the celts the norse and the vikings or anything else... the entire western civilization is part or was touched by the Roman Empire. It's very fascinating.
