There's no Roman Empire in the Bible.
Just a place (city?) called Rome, that some people mention and go to. And one mention of the language used there. That's it.

And so? What do you mean?
I'm trying to figure out in what context the New Testament kicks off, by only looking within the Bible itself.
βIn those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.β
β Luke 2:1 (NIV)
That's a link some translators make and seem to sneak in there, though.
ΞΏΞΉΞΊΞΏΟ (oikos) doesn't mean ROMAN World. It doesn't even necessarily mean World for that matter π.
The best case for Rome being something that's, at least legally, recognized more broadly is Acts 22:25-28
