Napoleon
Napoleon was known to be obsessed with history and the world of Romans in particular.
He proclaimed himself as the Emperor of the French in 1804 during the Roman Empire. But in 1806 he, and the French, destroyed the Holy Roman Empire after it had survived for thousands of years.
In 1809, he proclaimed himself as Roman emperor when he annexed the Papal States. But this was more of a symbol as he did not rule over the city of Rome or surrounding territories.
