Timeline of the Roman and Byzantine Emperors

Rome. The state that turned from tiny settlements around the Palatine Hill in central Italy into a vast empire that ruled most of western europe and mediteranean for centuries and formed the framework for todays states.
Let us get into a journey through time, from Augustus, the first emperor of Rome, to the final ruler of the Byzantine Empire. Along the way, we'll encounter both great and terrible emperors, and witness golden and tumultuous ages.
The map shows the territory controlled by the emperor at the end of his reign.
When two or more emperors ruled jointly, it is indicated by a white line between their names.
Images are from Wikipedia.

[@MrMarsh263]

I find it bizarre that the last western Roman Emperor was named Romulus Augustulus and the last for the east was Constantine. It's like they knew the end was near and wanted to bring it back full circle.

[@eid8fkebe7f27ejdjdjduyhsvqhwu2]

The last western emperor was actually Julius Nepos, after his title was usurped by Romulus's Dad he became the ruler of Dalmatia and after 476 until his assassination in 480 the last western roman emperor recognized by the east.

[@Aethelhald]

@@eid8fkebe7f27ejdjdjduyhsvqhwu2 I'd say Valentinian III was the last "real" emperor in the west. He was the last emperor in the west to actually have at least a small amount of true authority over (what was left of) the empire. After Valentinian III, each subsequent emperor is nothing more than the puppet of a powerful barbarian warlord who has usurped all power in the western empire. Majorian and Anthemius may have been competent and both definitely had the spirit of true Roman emperors, but they were still nothing more than puppets who were disposed of by their master when he no longer had a use for them. Augustulus and Nepos were even more powerless than the puppets before them. There was no western empire when those two were "emperor." Its name was just being kept alive by puppet masters who were working out how to dispose of its already dead corpse without pissing off the eastern empire too much, hence the real power in the west (Odoacer) minting coins with Nepos's head on them to appease the eastern empire and give the impression that the west still existed when it didn't.

Basil II was an emporor who showed the world that rome still had some fight left in it

[@fane757]

Basil II was emperor when rome was already re-established as a power in europe so i dont think that he really showed anything else other than good military strategy and good understanding of the administration. An emperor who actuallly surprised the world might be leo III who defended constantinople when everyone thought the romans would fall to the arabs sooner or later

In Illyria (in the geographical sense) was indeed the most powerful of the Roman armies, in charge of watching over the Danube (nearly 12 legions, that is to say 130 000 men) .

The Last Western Roman Emperor was Julius Nepos who ruled from Dalmatia after Romulus Augustulus had usurped the throne. Nepos was assassinated in 480 and the title was abolished be the Eastern Emperor Zeno afterwards. Roman rule in Gaul lasted until 486 as the domain of Soissons though the ruling general (Syagrius) never proclaimed himself emperor.

This is the story of how the dream of roman empire was lost Rome was lost in 476 The empire was lost in 1204 The dream was lost in 1453 edit. i see that there has been quite a bit of discussion and want to clarfiy what i mean by the comment. The city of rome was lost in the year 476 and even though it was later recovered by the byzantines, it never again became center of culture and power of rome that it had been for the most part of the empires history. In 1204 the crusaders seized constantinople, effectively ending any byzantine influence outside greece and anatolia. I chose 1204 over 1071, because after 1071 the byzantines managed to recover almost half of anatolia under the komnenian restoration. After 1204 they could barely control the anatolian coast and never ruled all of greece. 1453 is pretty self-explanatory, in that year the remains of the once mighty roman empire were conquered by the ottoman turks. After 1453 nobody claimed to be rome in any other than spiritual sense.

@Charles Darwin the founder of evolution There were not 2 empires. Not. Period. For some periods we can say that there were 2 (or even 4) administrative units of the same empire (you cannot even call it federalism). This is also the way that the contemporaries perceived their own state. Their own heritage. How we can say we know better than them?

[@baraxor]

Interesting how the artistic representations of the emperors went from realistic sculpture and well-detailed coins prior to the collapse of the third century, to simplistic stylized sculpture that disappeared entirely by the middle of the fourth century, and coins that became artistically debased to the point that they look like something barbarians would bash out (first in the West, then the East). No, Justinian, you can't get quality work like that anymore!

They did produce realistic sculpture a little bit longer than that. I recently browsed though all the relevant of wikimedia common's 'art by century' categories to try and really pin down when Roman art declined. The latest truly quality classical works I could find where as late as 515 AD, a bust of the princess Anicia Juliana, as well as truly fantastic illustrations in a book dedicated to her, that's today called Codex Vidobonensis. In mosaics from the 7th century, I could find lingering traces of great realistic art in the postures and draperies of the figures, but nothing even close to Codex Vidobonensis quality.
