Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison between Roman and Han Empires
This is a quite proper subject of scholarly study.  For example, see http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1096433 From the 'Great Convergence' to the 'First Great Divergence': Roman and Qin-Han State Formation and its Aftermath.  The exact scope of the article is open to change should we wish to include other ancient empires such as the Turks and we should allow for this in accordance with our |editing policy.  Note also that we have a whole category of :Category:Comparisons|comparisons
