Shouldn’t the holy Roman Empire be the third one because it had nothing to do with the Roman Empire
and Mussolini wasn’t even trying to be the Roman Empire?

I mean, Mussolini didn’t really attempt to “recreate” the Roman Empire. Using Roman Empire aesthetics is a pretty good way churn out propaganda and galvanize support for fascist, imperialist aims. Mussolini followed his aims of “[Mare Nostrum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare_Nostrum#Classical_fascism)” trying to make Italy into a dominant Mediterranean power and mainly used Roman aesthetics and previous conquests as justification for expansionism.
