Plus the Sabines were ginger, and there's no resisting the sex appeal of ginger women.

Uh huh. Got sources for Roman civilization dying in 27 BC? I'd love to learn. My degree in the Classics is somewhat old and any new ideas in the field are always welcome.

I would argue that the moving of the capital and seat of economic and political power to Constantinople broke the trend of continuity with the metropole Roman civilization of Classical Antiquity long before 1204.
I say the Rome of Antiquity ceased in 480 with the death of Julius Nepos, the last legal emperor of the West (as opposed to the illegitimate pretender Romulus Augustus).

The capital hadn't been Rome for centuries by 480.

The difference is the Roman Empire collapsed into two separate parts and did not recover.
The Roman Empire didn't collapse into two parts, the rule was legally divided among co-rulers. Four regional capitol cities replaced Rome, each closer to the borders so as to make defense more efficient. Although the western half of the Empire was invaded and occupied by barbarian tribes over the next several centuries, the rulers never relinquished their claims to the whole of the Empire as it had existed. Justinian attempted to reclaim the west but was ultimately unsuccessful. As for the United States, had the rebellious states won that war, the government of the USA would never have relinquished claim to the lost territory. Saying "no longer existed as it had" is a quibble.
