Mussolini believed that he could rebuild the ancient Roman Empire. Why did the ancient Romans succeed in building a vast Empire while Mussolini failed?

The Roman Empire had a one-of-a-kind sense of God and country that other empires since then have failed to match. The Roman Emperors believed that their people, country, civilization, and religion were of God himself. Furthermore, the Roman Empire added a distinct unifying aspect to their takeover of other countries that had an intense psychological effect on the besieged country. Furthermore, the Roman Empire utilized cutting-edge military strategies and went into battle with the Glory of Rome as their banner.

Mussolini’s Italy, on the other hand, was a Fascist construct that was more or less rooted in political power-grabs than in any notable ideal. His country’s social, economic, and political structure could never have withstood the heft of a World-War, especially considering the fact that the morale of his constituents was habitually low and he was seen as a rather unseemly individual on the world stage, generally making it impossible for him to gain any real momentum in his political ambitions.
