No, San Marino is independent state since 200 years or so (Edit: actually over 700). Sure, a very minor one, but still fit the incredibly sweeping definition of the guy i was answering to. Also why i would count Rome, it's over 300 km away from it.
Rome. The empire in which the citizens of San marino were apart of and engaged in authorities.
Roman Empire fell over 800 years before San Marino first became independent, and if you meant Rome as in the Papal States, it was since 1291.
Beside it would be pretty weird to blame specifically San Marino for what Roman Empire did, especially that the city itself was allegedly founded in 301 CE by christians fleeing from the Diocletian persecution.
Why not? Same people. Same culture. Recieved the benefits of genocide.
