MODERATORS
I don't think that the situation is that similar.
Rome ran into a situation where whoever could buy off the military, or enough of the military, could get power.
But in this case, we haven't really seen offers to the military or them switching sides to whoever puts forward the best deal. In fact, as I recall someone pointing out, Russia hasn't really historically been much subject to military coups.
