The roaring in the Roman Parliament did not affect the peace of the Central Plains at all, nor could the slaughters in the Roman Arena change the current situation where swords and spears face each other in the Central Plains.
Empires equally invincible, both began to fall into decline because they had no more opponents, both having risen to thrones by treading upon the corpses of other powerful empires, are not hindered by distance, but by their own invincibility.
As long as the steps of conquest continue, the dividends of war can keep the nation going, and all contradictions can be shifted away. Such is the empire's confidence: as long as they remain undefeated, every problem can be solved through war.
Not enough land? Let us launch a war. Lacking resources? Let us launch a war. Too many internal troubles? Let us launch a war. As long as we win, everything is not a problem. And victory for these two currently colossal empires is never a problem!
