But Rome wasn't necessarily the dominant power of that age. You're leaving out the Parthian Empire, the Kushan Empire and the Qin Dynasty, which unified China for the first time in known history. From Wikipedia, "at the height of its power, the Qin Dynasty had a population of around 40 million people." The Roman Empire (when unified) had maybe 50 million, so you are talking about two relatively even things. It's just that in the West generally, we are taught world history as if it were the history of the West. But if you're going to be making statements about world history, you ought to take the world as a unit.
Anyway, here's a
page that shows the Roman Empire in a larger setting.
