I'm really curious and have heard mixed responses about this one, could they crack a planet, and if so would it be worthwhile to turn a useless planet or dwarf planet into a bunch of asteroids for mining purposes?

Roman empire at its strongest in terms of martial power, somehow comes back, and it's not alone.

There are many roman empires, but question is, just how many can there be before modern 2026 Italy can no longer beat them?

Assume all other enemies no longer exist and Italy won't get any military support from allies for this war, but no new sanctions either.

Italy can do anything it normally could if it randomly started a war except for calling allies to help.

pretty much anything they could do IRL, they just won't get much support, similar to USA vs Iran scenario, but no sanctions against Italy. If their economy can bear it they could buy whatever they will be permitted.

Empires also have everything, to can think something like the Gate scenario, where multiple portals to this other world opened in the Mediterranean and on the Italian peninsula, and the rest of the world has absolutely 0 interest in it for plot reasons, so this whole operation may as well be treated as Italian internal politics that no activist will ever care about.

The soldiers are not bloodlusted but they believe they will be enslaved if they lose and cannot be convinced otherwise.

For many empires they can either all exist on a very large Earth 2 or have more Gates connecting to them as well.

Everyone gets their food and resources exactly as they would normally.
