The president analogy is actually quite fitting. Though I guess I just lumped that with greed since I thought most people who wanted to be president would just be after the fame that came with the office. Though I can see how you could get a kick from just having the knowledge of the nuclear missiles that are in the US arsenal or being the commander in chief of the armed forces. But Roman strikes me as someone who has a little more motivating him than just having a lot of people under his control. For one, he's feeling threatened by Cinder. It may not have seemed like that in episode 1 but that's definitely the case in episode 16. The reason he keeps getting more and more men is not so much to satisfy himself, but instead try and appease Cinder who seems like she could burn him to a crisp at any moment.
