    Default "What Roman Emperor are you like?" Quiz

    Sorry if this is a re-post, but I just saw a curious thread over at EU: Rome and tried it out. It's a quiz which tells you which Emperors are you related to by behaviour.

    The Roman Emperor Quiz

    At the end I got equal percentages (61%) for Claudius, Vespasian and Augustus, but at the tie breaker, I apparently chose Claudius! I was murdered by my lover, oh noes! Teehee!
    BLARGH!

    Which Roman Emperor Are You?
    You scored as a Augustus
    You are Augustus! First emperor of the Romans and one of the greatest statesmen in the ancient world. You brilliantly eased the old Republic into the Principate and set the path for an empire that would last for centuries and form the underpinnings for all western civilization. Hail Caesar!
    Augustus 93%

    Everything else was less than 70%

    Quite happy with it, as I can link myself best with augustus when it comes to character and traits. So actually no suprise.

    wow, i love this sort of things, thanks it was very funny!

    anyway:
    You are Tiberius, actually a good emperor in the scheme of things, but eventually you will become hated because you hated yourself and your role. You never really wanted to become emperor, and you never really got what you wanted in life. These unfulfilled aspirations will lead to dark moods and an eventual indulgent isolation on the Isle of Capri.

    Tiberius 82%
    Trajan79%
    Marcus Aurelius 79%

    im already looking foreward to that sweet isolation on the isle of Capri...

    Now im very curious to see Teleklos, Watchman and Minime...
    i foresee... Teleklos hmm... Nerva or Antoninus Pious, Watchman... Marcus Aurelius, MiniMe... hmmm, Nero or Claudius, dont know why...

    Your attention to duty even when the going gets rough has earned you the identity of Marcus Aurelius. A philosopher-emperor, he used Stoic musings to steel his resolve against a hard lot in life. You know few years of peace, and believe the only final answer to the empire's problems is a complete conquest of Europe. Despite this, you are probably one of the most human and thoughtful emperors in the history of mankind. Hail Caesar!
    Not bad, but I had the same percent for Tiberius Claudius and Vespasian.

    Which is strange

    You scored as a Trajan
    You are quite fortunate to rank as the emperor Trajan, possibly the greatest of Roman emperors. You have relentlessly expanded the empire and even humbled the mighty Parthian empire. Loved by all, vastly larger than life, you are the model for all future emperors. It is hard to find a bad thing to say about you. HAIL CAESAR!

    yep, that sounds about right.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    Hm...

    Which Roman Emperor Are You?
    You scored as a Vespasian
    Your attention to military affairs and your humble life make you Vespasian, one of the great emperors. Nearly your whole life you have fought wars of conquest or crushed rebellions, and in fact you have earned the empire in this way after the bloody civil war of The Year of the Four Emperors. The empire is in capable hands with your practicality and discipline.

    46. For many years the empire has pushed back the barbarian hordes. Time to end this with total war.
    Time to end this with EB, surely? :)

    The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken

Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.

    I'm Trajan! I like the way my top choices are all from the time period accepted to be the Golden Age of the Romans. Strange though, I would've thought I would be more of a Hadrian than that, given that I admired the way he travelled to see and administer his empire.

    I just would have travelled as a mere rich merchant with a very large guard rather than as emperor, that's all.

    It's worrying to see that there's ever that little bit of a Commodus in me...

    Here are my results as well...


    You scored as a Marcus Aurelius
    Your attention to duty even when the going gets rough has earned you the identity of Marcus Aurelius. A philosopher-emperor, he used Stoic musings to steel his resolve against a hard lot in life. You know few years of peace, and believe the only final answer to the empire's problems is a complete conquest of Europe. Despite this, you are probably one of the most human and thoughtful emperors in the history of mankind. Hail Caesar

    Heh, I tried to get Nero but failed. Apparently I mixed him up with Caligula .

    You scored as a Caligula
    Your endearing nickname 'Little-Boots' will become associated with fear and madness later in life. While your reign started out on a good note, your warped upbringing and probably mental deformity will cause you to be known to history as the worst of Roman emperors. You will die assassinated a hated man.

    Another Antoninus Pius here.
    Your attention to good character and stability has earned you your standing as Antoninus Pius. Your long and moderate reign is probably one of the most peaceful epics in human history up to the modern age. It is too bad more emperors did not share your humility.

    Antoninus Pius 68%
    Hadrian 61%
    Marcus Aurelius 61%
    Vespasian 54%

    Strangely though, there isn't an Hadrian yet (At least posted) and yay for a Clau-Clau-Claudius companion! :)

    Thank you for all the positive feedback on the quiz!
    BLARGH!
