Genghis Khan. He had the largest empire in terms of square mileage and total land
His navy did poorly against the Japanese.
But I'll agree with the Mongols at #1, what they did was incredible. And it's amazing that they could have conceivably taken Japan without poor luck with the weather. The rifle ended their domination.
Rome at #2. That fall is what we need to learn from.
The Brits take the Bronze Medal for empire, and the Gold for best navy during the time of empires. The navy made all the difference.

Khan was able to conquer 11,000,000 square miles with no muskets or cannons. Still pretty damn impressive. But yeah as soon as he died and muskets became more mainstream the Mongol empire collapsed like a deck of cards

The Mongols like Alexander had a vast territory but it's Rome's longevity and contributions to our current world that makes it almost the unanimous GOAT of empires.

This is the correct answer.
