Rome was a big empire. Their systems in architecture, agriculture and even their political method is enough to keep one baffled.
It was an empire way ahead of its time, with achievements reaching to the standards of modern culture.
In the Quran; they are mentioned by the name:
Verse "2" specified the Romans by the name: الروم. That is utterly important; actually the prophecy it made in verse "3" did come true. The Romans might lost their empire, but their empire did triumph, and today we see their shadow everywhere; America; Europe; Asia and Africa.
I'm happy that the Roman civilization triumphed. I mean we saw what other civilizations do to Muslims and believers in God. The Roman-style allowed for fair elections, allowed for multi-cultural world; allowed for respect to the law -which Rome did-.
Let us not forget how China burned our books; while Britain kept the oldest Quran in its museums.

(1) Alif-Lãm-Mĩm.
(2) The Romans have been defeated
(3) in a nearby land. Yet following their defeat, they will triumph
Dr. Ghali
(4) Within several years. To Allah belongs the Command ever before and ever after, and upon that day the believers will exult.
Dr. Mustafa Khattab
(5) at the victory willed by Allah. He gives victory to whoever He wills. For He is the Almighty, Most Merciful.
(6) ˹This is˺ the promise of Allah. ˹And˺ Allah never fails in His promise. But most people do not know.
(7) They ˹only˺ know the worldly affairs of this life, but are ˹totally˺ oblivious to the Hereafter.
