Cycles in history don't exist. Its an illusion and side effect of human brains wanting to seek patterns.
What happens is similar circumstances will emerge time to time, but while they share some things in similar, they are also NOTHING alike, and so are NOT the same.
LIke anything with Rome? Well 2021 isn't the world of the Roman empire, for one we have airplanes and internet. The politics and challenges faced are VERY different despite some similarites. Hell the US Congress and Roman Senate also function nothing alike, sharing only in common they are elected and write laws. Beyond that EVERYTHING else is different.
