I actually do read and think about the Roman Empire quite a bit.

Yes:
Plutarch's "Lives", a large collection of short biographies of famous Greeks and Romans in pairs, contrasting a Greek and a Roman each time. Written ~100 AD. It's very long, and sometimes tedious because of all the battle descriptions, but full of amazing twists of fate and other excellent tidbits.
Also "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by Gibbons, which is similarly long and sometimes tedious, but lots of rewarding bits too.
I also really liked Marcus Aurelius's "Meditations" and Seneca's "Letters" but they are really about Stoicism and not the Empire itself.
Oh, great. Now the fucking Milky Way has to go to rehab.
Lol, I used to be a bit embarrassed by how much Irish people drink until I learned that the Russians drink twice as much per person.
