Emperor
Axum and Ethiopia do not occupy the same territory- some of the same central territories, yes, but Axum ruled significantly different areas (parts of modern Sudan and Somaliland for example), with the bulk of Axum's territory being further north.
I still think that if Qin = China, Maurya = India and Axum = Ethiopia then Rome = Italy, but I suppose you are right that the distinction between Rome and Italy is much clearer to consumers (though I imagine that Qin China and Modern China aren't actually more similar than Ancient Rome and Italy today, other than ethnically).
