Rome was definitely a large empire, though it was not as old as some empires before it, it's scale was staggering at the time. Not just the land area but the various ethnicities as well.
China probably takes the cake for being the most long-lived. Even if you consider it starting from the Qin rather than the Shang dynasty, that's still a long ass time up to the Qing in the 1900s.
Now if we are going to talk about the leader, there's no doubt Genghis Khan captured the largest area during his lifetime. It all ended on death though, with the Mongol empire fragmenting and the descendants establishing themselves in different regions like the Yuans and Mughals.

Roman empire is the greatest empire in my opinion. It was huge and lived for hundreds of years!
You can vote for any of the kings on your basis of their military might, the size of the empire their architectural achievements and so on ?
