**Sander** · 11-01-2004, 15:36

Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero.....

**Quillan** · 11-01-2004, 15:45

Trajan, Hadrian, Vespasian, Septimus Severus, Marcus Aurelius, Commodus, and I'm drawing a blank at that point. The contest only requires you to enter three names anyway.

**Sin Qua Non** · 11-01-2004, 20:38

Honorius, Caracalla, Valens, Valentinian, Constantine, Justinian... mmm... Diolcletian..
and if you want to count the 3 that were overthrown the year Vespasian was emperor... Galba, Vitellius & Otho.

Once Diocletian split the empire, it gets even easier, because you get 2 emperors! Of course, some may be under-emperors, hell I forget, I'm sure some of these are even misspelled. Now way I'm doing a spell check on this!

Wow being a Roman emporer seems to be a short term job. Wonder what made it so short

Most of them didn't assume the throne as a child, or even as a young adult, and people didn't live as long back then. A number of them also died in battle or due to assassination.

Only for residents of the UK. Blah!

Very few emperors died in their sleep. On the one hand you could have a few years where you could do almost what you want. Set against that you would probably find yourself a powerless fugitive and dead after a few years. Also set against that the life of an emperor was often that of a life of trudging thorough mud and drizzle on the frontier and then having to buy off the enemy with almost unavailable gold. If all that task was delegated the general on the frontier might decide to try his hand at your job.
