Unworthy as we are, we shall never cease to proclaim your power, O Theotokos. If you no longer intercede for us, who will deliver us from so many misfortunes? Who will keep us free? We shall never leave you, O Queen: O blessed Lady, you always save your servants from the calamity of the One Ring.
Prayer to Our Lady of Middle Earth

After he died in battle, Constantinople fell, and as such, the Byzantine Empire had ended; the last vestige of the great Roman Empire.
My previous 4 blog posts were the poem, along with paintings of the Emperor and the battle. Here is Tolkien reading that section of the book:

Forth rode Théoden. Five nights and days
east and onward rode the Eorlingas
through Folde and Fenmarch and Firienwood,
six thousand spears to Sunlending,
Mundburg the mighty under Mindolluin,
Sea-kings’ city in the South-kingdom
foe-beleaguered, fire-encircled.
