Ottomemes got a point

Explanation: The Ottoman Empire, after decisively finishing the Byzantine Empire, the successor state to the Roman Empire of old, the Ottomans claimed the title of Kayser-i Rum - “Emperor (Caesar) of Rome”.

Considering that the Ottomans also ‘enjoyed’ a great many imperial intrigues based around the uncertain inheritance of the imperial title and the political power of the standing army, just like the Ancient Romans, perhaps they were more accurate than they’ve been given credit for!
