Russian lands in the Roman Republic/Empire was just the Crimea and maybe Abkhazia.

Rome's religions were the pagan pantheon copied from the Greeks and a generic Christianism. Orthodoxy and Catholicism split AFTER the fall of the Western Empire.

Julius Caesar still ruled in a republic. The one you're seeking for is his son-nephew Octavianus Augustus, the first of the Emperors.

Just because Mr. Putin looks like Julius Caesar, it does not mean Russia is Rome.

The eagle (double-headed or single-headed) was always associated with civilized power and many countries used it. Was Germany Rome just because it had a double-headed eagle?

EDIT: the Xth Rome shit is just propaganda invented by historical leaders to claim something but Moscow has nothing to do with Rome, beside the seven hills. Even Italy once reclaimed to be the Third Rome under fascism regime.
