A.D. 1453?

On May 29, 1453, Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire ended the Byzantine Empire. The Ottomans breached Constantinople’s ancient land wall after besieging the city for 55 days. The anthem, posted by Uncle Sam, begins at Pulchras.

 
Firmly I pledge                                    Firme nunc me spondeo
my loyalty to thee                                Fidelis tibi maneo
Land of my Forefathers                     Bella priorum cara patria
forever brimming with glory            Nunc et semper florens gloria
A land of beauty                              Pulchras terrae patriae                     
home of the courageous                     Fortes terrae pro homines
Our Eternal Rome                               Romae noster aeternae
the might of enemy ships                  Vis cavire domum navium
Threatens us in vain                           Frustra ipsa impetur
it is a hopeless quest                           Sunt sine spe
Turn away from deceit                       Domus dulces portula
and sweet delusions                            Fraudi ob sat
For the trumpets of War                    Tubae militares vox
will call our Legions soon                  Legionus procat mox
And across the fatherland                 Et in tota patria
a victory song will ring                       Cantus nicoliae resonat
And across the fatherland                 Et in tota patria
our song will resonate                        Cantus nostrae resonat
A time of joy and pride                      Tempus est in gaudium
for Eternal Rome.                               Superbia Roma aeterna.

Interesting that You assume the end of the Roman Empire with 1453, but that's a possibility. Normally the year 476 is taken, when the last emperor Romulus Augustulus was deposed by the Germanic king Odoaker.
But there exists a third option: 1806 Emperor Francis II. led down the crown of the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation", declared this Empire as deceased and continued his rule as "Francis I. Emperor of Austria". This was to prevent that Napoleon became elected as Holy Roman Emperor by the felonious princes of the Rhine Convention.

Hey Joe: I fully agree. I always thought 476, but you righted me again with the information on Francis II and 1806. I added a video about the Holy Roman Empire.
