    List of Roman emperors

    Emperor Augustus served as thefirst Roman emperor. His Principateended republican rule in Rome andbegan Pax Romana.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The Roman emperors were the rulers of the Roman Empire dating from the granting of thetitle of Augustus to Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus by the Roman Senate in 27 BC.Augustus maintained a façade of Republican rule, rejecting monarchical titles but callinghimself princeps senatus (first man of the council)[1] and princeps civitatis (first citizenof the state). The title of Augustus was conferred on his successors to the imperialposition. The style of government instituted by Augustus is called the Principate andcontinued until reforms by Diocletian. The modern word 'emperor' derives from the titleimperator, which was granted by an army to a successful general; during the initial phaseof the empire, the title was generally used only by the princeps. For example, Augustus'official name was Imperator Caesar Augustus.

    The territory under command of the emperor had developed under the period of the RomanRepublic as it invaded and occupied most of Europe and portions of northern Africa andwestern Asia. Under the republic, regions of the empire were ruled by provincialgovernors answerable to and authorised by the Senate and People of Rome. During therepublic, the chief magistrates of Rome were two consuls elected each year; consulscontinued to be elected in the imperial period, but their authority was subservient to that ofthe emperor, and the election was controlled by the emperor.

    In the late 3rd century, after the Crisis of the Third Century , Diocletian formalised andembellished the recent manner of imperial rule, establishing the so-called Dominate period of the Roman Empire. This wascharacterised by the explicit increase of authority in the person of the Emperor, and the use of the style Dominus Noster ("OurLord"). The rise of powerful Barbarian tribes along the borders of the empire and the challenge they posed to defense of far-flungborders and unstable imperial succession led Diocletian to divide the administration geographically of the Empire in 286 with a co-Augustus. In 330, Constantine the Great established a second capital in Byzantium , which he renamed Constantinople . For mostof the period from 286 to 480, there was more than one recognised senior emperor, with the division usually based in geographicterms. This division was consistently in place after the death of Theodosius I in 395, which historians have dated as the divisionbetween the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire .[2] However, formally the Empire remained a single polity,with separate co-emperors in the separate courts. The fall of the Western Roman Empire , and so the end of a separate list ofemperors below, is dated either from the de facto date of 476 when Romulus Augustulus was deposed by the Germanic Heruliansled by Odoacer or the de jure date of 480, on the death of Julius Nepos , when Eastern Emperor Zeno ended recognition of aseparate Western court. In the period that followed, the Empire is usually treated by historians as the Byzantine Empire governedby the Byzantine Emperors , although this designation is not used universally, and continues to be a subject of specialist debatetoday.[3]

    The line of emperors continued until the death of Constantine XI Palaiologos during the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, when theremaining territories were captured by the Ottoman Empire under Mehmed II .[4]

    Legitimacy [edit]This article is about legitimate Roman emperors. For other individuals claiming the title of Emperor, see List ofRoman usurpers.

    The emperors listed in this article are those generally agreed to have been 'legitimate' emperors, and who appear in published regnallists.[5][6][7] The word 'legitimate' is used by most authors, but usually without clear definition, perhaps not surprisingly, since theemperorship was itself rather vaguely defined legally. In Augustus' original formulation, the princeps was selected by either theSenate or "the people" of Rome, but quite quickly the legions became an acknowledged stand-in for "the people." A person couldbe proclaimed as emperor by their troops or by "the mob" in the street, but in theory needed to be confirmed by the Senate. Thecoercion that frequently resulted was implied in this formulation. Furthermore, a sitting emperor was empowered to name asuccessor and take him on as apprentice in government and in that case the Senate had no role to play, although it sometimes didwhen a successor lacked the power to inhibit bids by rival claimants. By the medieval (or Byzantine) period, the very definition ofthe Senate became vague as well, adding to the complication.[8]

    Lists of legitimate emperors are therefore partly influenced by the subjective views of those compiling them, and also partly byhistorical convention. Many of the 'legitimate' emperors listed here acceded to the position by usurpation, and many 'illegitimate'claimants had a legitimate claim to the position. Historically[by whom?], the following criteria have been used to derive emperorlists:

    Any individual who undisputedly ruled the whole Empire, at some point, is a 'legitimate emperor'(1).Any individual who was nominated as heir or co-emperor by a legitimate emperor (1), and who succeeded to rule in his ownright, is a legitimate emperor (2).Where there were multiple claimants, and none were legitimate heirs, the claimant accepted by the Roman Senate as emperor isthe legitimate emperor (3), at least during the Principate .

    So for instance, Aurelian , though acceding to the throne by usurpation, was the sole and undisputed monarch between 270 and 275,and thus was a legitimate emperor. Gallienus, though not in control of the whole Empire, and plagued by other claimants, was thelegitimate heir of (the legitimate emperor) Valerian . Claudius Gothicus , though acceding illegally, and not in control of the whole

    Empire, was the only claimant accepted by the Senate, and thus, for his reign, was the legitimate emperor. Equally, during the Yearof the Four Emperors, all claimants, though not undisputed, were at some point accepted by the Senate and are thus included;conversely, during the Year of the Five Emperors neither Pescennius Niger nor Clodius Albinus were accepted by the Senate, andare thus not included. There are a few examples where individuals were made co-emperor, but never wielded power in their ownright (typically the child of an emperor); these emperors are legitimate, but are not included in regnal lists, and in this article arelisted together with the senior emperor.

    Emperors after 395 [edit]

    After 395, the list of emperors in the East is based on the same general criteria, with the exception that the emperor only had to bein undisputed control of the Eastern part of the empire, or be the legitimate heir of the Eastern emperor.

    The situation in the West is more complex. Throughout the final years of the Western Empire (395–480) the Eastern emperor wasconsidered the senior emperor, and a Western emperor was only legitimate if recognized as such by the Eastern emperor.Furthermore, after 455 the Western emperor ceased to be a relevant figure and there was sometimes no claimant at all. For the sakeof historical completeness, all Western Emperors after 455 are included in this list, even if they were not recognized by the EasternEmpire;[9] some of these technically illegitimate emperors are included in regnal lists, while others are not. For instance, RomulusAugustulus was technically a usurper who ruled only the Italian peninsula and was never legally recognized. However, he wastraditionally considered the "last Roman Emperor" by 18th and 19th century western scholars and his overthrow by Odoacer usedas the marking point between historical epochs, and as such he is usually included in regnal lists. However, modern scholarship hasconfirmed that Romulus Augustulus' predecessor, Julius Nepos continued to rule as emperor in the other Western holdings and as afigurehead for Odoacer's rule in Italy until Nepos' death in 480. Since the question of what constitutes an emperor can beambiguous, and dating the "fall of the Western Empire" arbitrary, this list includes details of both figures.
