  • Even by the standards of the rapidly declining Western Empire, Honorius' reign was precarious and chaotic. His throne was guarded by his principal general, Flavius Stilicho, who was successively Honorius's guardian (during his childhood) and his father-in-law (after the emperor became an adult). Stilicho's generalship helped preserve some level of stability, but with his execution, the Western Roman Empire moved closer to collapse

  • An invasion of Alans, Suevi and Vandals moved from Gaul on 31 December 406, and arrived in Hispania in 409. In 408, Stilicho (after forcing the Roman Senate to pay 4,000 pounds of gold)[2] was arrested and executed by the order of Honorius, probably because of a court conspiracy against the Arian general. The Visigoths under their King Alaric I invaded Italy in 408, besieged Rome, and extorted from the city a ransom of 5,000 pounds of gold, 30,000 pounds of silver, 4,000 silken tunics, 3,000 hides dyed scarlet, and 3,000 pounds of pepper)[3], while Honorius in Ravenna did nothing.

      Honorius wasn't a real leader. He was more like a follower and because of his not very wise descions of his generals the western roman empire fell. Rome needed a strong and wise leader not a kid who will always be asking for help when he's the one that's suppose to help. Also a leader that can control his own situations , and do what he thinks is best for rome.
  • To counter Priscus, Honorius tried to negotiate with Alaric. Alaric withdrew his support for Priscus in 410, but the negotiations with Honorius broke down. Alaric again entered Italy and sacked Rome.
    • alexa puntiel
      alexa puntiel on 19 Nov 09
       
      Alaric just asked for some land for his people. They did need land to function, to live, and to grow their crops. I didn't think it was too much to ask for. All they wanted was the romans to treat them as their equals . Mostly it's the general's fault for trying to kill Alaric's troop and him just because of what happened in the past. Now for that stupid mistake Alaric and his men thought the emperor has betrayed him for the third time.
    • alexa puntiel
      alexa puntiel on 19 Nov 09
       
      Honorius wasn't very wise. Asking your senate about what to do? Uh, no not a very smart thing to do because this is what YOU want for the empire . No one else. The choices Honorius made was why the western roman empire fell. He didn't take charge nor did he act like a leader.
  • The most notable event of his reign was the assault and Sack of Rome on August 24 410 by the Visigoths under Alaric.
    • alexa puntiel
      alexa puntiel on 19 Nov 09
       
      Sack means to to rob, or burn down. That's exactly what alaric an his men were planning on doing. It's what Rome gets for not trying to accepet the barbarins , and for killing their people. The emperor wanted to negoaite ,but let's say some people can hold a gruge for years , and takes matters in their own hands to get revegne.
    • alexa puntiel
      alexa puntiel on 19 Nov 09
       
      During the sack of Rome Honorius' sister was taken by Alaric's men as houstche or captive. The sack of Rome was to me a terrible sight. I guess that's how it was back then. We learn from their mistakes , and make better choices unlike Honorius.

      Maxentius WAS a pagan. He hated Constantine. In the battle he died in Maxentius had a plan that once all of Constantine's army gets on the bridge they will lot the bridge loose. And since they are wearing armor they will sink in obviously will not survive. But, Maxentius's plan backfired and he and his army fell into the water. That was ironic because Dia, the christian scribe said to Constantine the day before the battle that if he puts the sign of the Christians they will Conquer. Which they did. From there on Constantine became Christian.

  • As his father became emperor in 285, he was regarded as crown prince who would eventually follow his father on the throne. He seems not to have served in any important military or administrative position during Diocletian's and his father's reign, though. Early (the exact date is unknown) he married Valeria Maximilla, the daughter of Galerius. He had two sons, Valerius Romulus (ca. 295 – 309) and an unknown one.

  • In 305, Diocletian and Maximian resigned, and the former caesares Constantius and Galerius became Augusti. Although with Constantine and Maxentius two sons of emperors were available, they were left out from the new tetrarchy, and Severus and Maximinus Daia were appointed Caesars. Some sources (Lactantius, Epitome) state that Galerius hated Maxentius and used his influence on Diocletian that Maxentius be ignored in the succession; maybe Diocletianus also thought that he was not qualified for the military duties of the imperial office. Maxentius retired to an estate some miles from Rome.

  • Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maxentius
  • the Augustus Severus marched on Rome with a large army.
  • Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maxentius (c. 278 – 28 October, 312) was Western Roman Emperor from 306 to 312. He was the son of former emperor Maximian, and the son-in-law of Galerius, also an emperor.

      Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maxentius was born around AD 279 as the son of Maximian and his Syrian wife Eutropia. He was made a senator and even was given Galerius' daughter Valeria Maximilla in marriage in an attempt to confirm his status of the son of an emperor. But other than these honours he received nothing. No consulship to groom him for power, no military command. First he suffered the indignity together with Constantine of being passed over as Maximian and Diocletian both resigned in AD 305, when they both had to watch the relative unknowns of Severus II and Maximinus II Daia accede to what they saw as their rightful places. Then at the death of Constantius Chlorus in AD 306 Constantine was granted the rank of Caesar, leaving Maxentius out in the cold

      What I ment by that was that Maxentius once had to fight against Constantine. His idea was to make the bridge fall when all of his army was on it. Pretty simple. But Maxentius ebded being the one falling into the water with his army. They were all wearing armor obviously so they could not get up. So they sink right down. Constantine won and Maxentius died. :l

    Maxentius WAS a pagan. He hated Constantine. In the battle he died in Maxentius had a plan that once all of Constantine's army gets on the bridge they will lot the bridge loose. And since they are wearing armor they will sink in obviously will not survive. But, Maxentius's plan backfired and he and his army fell into the water. That was ironic because Dia, the christian scribe said to Constantine the day before the battle that if he puts the sign of the Christians they will Conquer.

    The pagan Maxentius, went to war against constantine on the milvian bridge. fortunatley, instead of maxentius' trap destroying Constantine and his army, the plan of having the bridge collapse backfired and he eventually killed himself.

      Constantine 1 was the most famous emperor in the Roman Empire. He was famous because he was the first emperor to become christian. That made him famous because usually the Christians are the enemies. Once Constantine bcame Christian he wanted to become allies with the Christians. He became Christian after the battle on the bridge. He became christian after that because the day before the battle, Dia, the christian scribe told him that if he put the sign of the christians on all the shelids he will conquer. He did. Now he believes in their God.

  • Licinius and Martinianus surrendered to Constantine at Nicomedia on the promise their lives would be spared: they were sent to live as private citizens in Thessalonica and Cappadocia respectively, but in 325 Constantine accused Licinius of plotting against him and had them both arrested and hanged; Licinius's son (the son of Constantine's half-sister) was also eradicated.[191] Thus Constantine became the sole emperor of the Roman Empire.
  • Constantine is perhaps best known for being the first Christian Roman emperor; his reign was certainly a turning point for the Christian Church. In 313 Constantine announced toleration of Christianity in the Edict of Milan, which removed penalties for professing Christianity (under which many had been martyred in previous persecutions of Christians) and returned confiscated Church property. Though a similar edict had been issued in 311 by Galerius, then senior emperor of the Tetrarchy, Galerius' edict granted Christians the right to practice their religion but did not restore any property to them.

Thats when Constantine began a new war with Licinuis and then he unleash his secret the that was the Cristian sign with the god's face on it. Then armysaw the sign and said "hey, that sign means that the god of the Cristians is coming down here and gonna destroy us." Which that meant a distracting for then and many soldiers got killed. When Licinuis saw that he flle back to his palace, because he knew that Constantine was going to kill him and so made Constantine the winner of the battle.

In spite of a large donative pledge to any who would support him as emperor, most of Constantine's army remained loyal to their emperor,

      Diocletian's Tetrarchy worked pretty well for about 20 years, but then it broke down. In 306 AD one of the Emperors, Constantius, died. He was supposed to be succeeded by his assistant, Severus. But he had a son, whose name was Constantine. When Constantius died, Constantine was not happy about being left out, and Constantius' army declared Constantine emperor. There was a big civil war. Maxentius Maxentius In one of the battles of this war, in 312 AD, Constantine was about to fight the son of another Emperor, Maximian. This son was named Maxentius. The battle was right outside Rome: Constantine was camped outside the walls of Rome, and Maxentius was inside Rome. Constantine's men were badly outnumbered. The night before the battle, Constantine had a dream. A cross or maybe some other Christian symbol appeared in the sky and he heard the words, "Under this sign you will win." Constantine figured that this meant he would win the battle if he had his soldiers paint a cross on their shields. He did have the soldiers paint the cross on their shields, and they did win the battle. Constantine was very impressed with the power of the Christian god, and became a Christian. He put up a triumphal arch to remind people of his victory.

    Caesar Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus (27 February c. 272- 22 May 337), commonly known in English as Constantine I, Constantine the Great,was Roman emperor from 306, and the sole holder of that office from 324 until 21his death in 337. Best known for being the first Christian Roman emperor, Constantine reversed the persecutions of his predecessor, Diocletian, and issued the Edict of Milan in 313, which proclaimed religious toleration throughout the empire. The Byzantine liturgical calendar, observed by the Eastern Orthodox Church and Eastern Catholic Churches of Byzantine rite, lists both Constantine and his mother Helena as saints. Although he is not included in the Latin Church's list of saints, which does recognize several other Constantines as saints, he is revered under the title "The Great" for his contributions to Christianity. Constantine also transformed the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium into a new imperial residence, Constantinople, which would remain the capital of the Byzantine Empire for over one thousand years.

    after going to war with Lucinius, there was seven years of truce between Constantine and him. After seven years of truce, peace was broken when Lucinius sent several troops to kill sevral christians. with that doing, another war erupted between Lucinius and Constantine. after raising a flag with christ's face on it, Lucinius' troops started to fear god and retreat. At the end of the bloody battle, Constantine won.

  • and as an early persecutor of Christians. This view is based upon the main surviving sources for Nero's reign—Tacitus, Suetonius and Cassius Dio. Few surviving sources paint Nero in a favorable light.[6] Some sources, though, including those mentioned above, portray him as an emperor who was popular with the common Roman people, especially in the East.[7] The study of Nero is problematic as some modern historians question the reliability of ancient sources when reporting on Nero's tyrannical acts

Germanicus' mother Antonia Minor, was a daughter of Octavia Minor and Mark Antony. Octavia was Augustus' second elder sister. Germanicus was also the adoptive son of Tiberius.

    Titus Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Arrius Antoninus (19 September 86 - 7 March 161), generally known in English as Antoninus Pius was Roman emperor from 138 to 161. He was the fourth of the Five Good Emperors and a member of the Aurelii. He did not possess the sobriquet "Pius" until after his accession to the throne. Almost certainly, he earned the name "Pius" because he compelled the Senate to deify his adoptive father Hadrian; the Historia Augusta, however, suggests that he may have earned the name by saving senators sentenced to death by Hadrian in his later years.[1]

      Constantine was a bit selfish during his time ruling the eastrn part of the empire. He wanted to rule all of Rome. He only ruled the eastern when he wanted to control the western as well. He was the only emperor in the eastern part, but in the western there was two emperors, Licinius, and Dia. He wanted to make friends with Licinius the stronger one. He completed the task, and he offered his sister to him to make sure he would'nt kill him. Then he told him if he kills Dia he will be the only one in charge. What Licinius doesn't know is, after Dia is killed, then Constantine will kill Licinius. Making him rule all of Rome.

His throne was guarded by his principal general, Flavius Stilicho, who was successively Honorius's guardian (during his childhood) and his father-in-law (after the emperor became an adult). Stilicho's generalship helped preserve some level of stability, but with his execution, the Western Roman Empire moved closer to collapse.

  • The senate of the Roman Kingdom held three principle responsibilities: It functioned as the ultimate repository for the executive power,[9] it served as the council to the king, and it functioned as a legislative body in concert with the People of Rome.[10] During the years of the monarchy, the senate's most important function was to elect new kings.
  • The senate continued to exist in Constantinople, however. In the second half of 10th century century a new office poeder was created as a head of the senate by Emperor Nicephorus Phocas. Up to mid-11th century only eunuch could become proeder, but later this restriction was lifted and several proeders could be appointed, of which senior ('protoptoeder') served as the head of senate.

Also I'd like to make a comment about Lucius Junius Brutus. If he was the one who tricked Lucius Tarquinius Superbus into being overthrown, why didn't he take over? I would've thought that since Superbus was out of the way that he would take his place.

    Since the Romans didn't want to go through having a bad king, they stopped calling their rulers/leaders emperors. To me this almost seems like a phobia. It does because it's almost like they would go mad just for calling their ruler a king. I don't really blame them though because if we called our teachers kings, they would be treated like them and get all the privileges they wanted just because of their label.
  • Erika Seda on 13 Sep 09
     
    The senate of the roman kingdom had many responsibilities. The kings of Rome only got a limited amount of time on the throne. This is almost as I said before. They get treated like royalty because of their labels. To us they are just kings but to the people of Rome it's like their life to worship each one until something goes wrong which is why now they don't like kings.
  • Erika Seda on 04 Oct 09
     
    the senate was almost like a group of high people who decided what was best for rome. what they did when permission was asked for or a proposal was made is almost vote on it. they didn't necessarily vote on things but they went with the most people on ideas or what was right.

  • Hadrian was born Publius Aelius Hadrianus in Italica[2] or, less probably, in Rome,[3] from a well-established family which had originated in Picenum in Italy and had subsequently settled in Italica, Hispania Baetica (the republican Hispania Ulterior), near the present day location of Seville, Spain. His predecessor Trajan was a maternal cousin of Hadrian's father.[4] Trajan never officially designated a successor, but, according to his wife, Pompeia Plotina, Trajan named Hadrian emperor immediately before his death. Trajan's wife was well-disposed toward Hadrian: Hadrian may well have owed his succession to her.

      Its weird how his guardian became emperor. He demandet to kill the senate. They where hunted down like animals.Is probaply becuse he knew the senate will get in the way, so he wont keet in the way of his rules and laws.

    I think that whole Jewish revolt was stupid of the Jews. They kind of gave me the idea that they were trying to say that they were better than others. One reason is because they reasoned with Trajan about worshipping their gods. To me they were the same as everybody else, they just believed in differnt things the Romans did.

    It's cool how Hadrian built the first mall. Imagining the Romans shopping is weird but cool at the same time. Doing this proved that they were civilized back then. I guess we did adopt habits and other things from the Romans.

    Hadrian obviously didn't play around when it came to him having power. I think he was a little over protective of his power and how he ran it. He didn't even permit people to talk bad about him without them being executed.

  • By 312, however, Constantine and Maxentius were engaged in open hostility with one another, although they were brothers-in‑law through Constantine's marriage to Fausta, sister of Maxentius. In the spring of 312, Constantine gathered his forces and decided to oust Maxentius himself. He easily overran northern Italy, winning two major battles: the first near Turin, the second at Verona, where the praetorian prefect Ruricius Pompeianus, Maxentius' most senior general, was killed.

      Maxentius plan was that Constantine would go one the Milvian bridge and they would release a rope and the bridge would just fall.But it was the other way around maxentius and his army got trapped in his own plan.he got trapped on the bridge because his army went running away from Constantine's army because they showed the face from christ.

      On October 28th, 312 AD, the battle of the Milvian bridge took place. The battle was between Constantine and Maxentius (their armies). Constantine's armies were out numbered. The concept of the battle was that the first person that gets to the other side will conquer! The day before the battle Dia, the christian scribe told Constantine that if they put the sign of the cross on all of the shelids of the soldiers. He will conquer. Constantine agreed. Maxentius's plan was that once the army of Constantine gets on the bridge they will breaqk the bridge. They were wearing armor obviously so they would jsut sink to the bottom and would not even have a chance to survive. So the army of Maxentius and Maxentius himself died. So Constantine won!

      the battle of the milvian bridge was about contantine wanting to be the emperor of rome. so constantine made war with maxentius. maxentius was ready for war because he made a trap on the bridge for constantine to fall onto. but it didnt work. maxentius fell in his own trap and he died from drowning. yea i kno they couldve swam but since they were where the armors and everything tht weighed alot, they couldnt swim in tht. so maxentius died in the war. so at tht point constantine was the only emperor for the western part of rome since there are two other emperors of the eastern part of rome.

      When Constantine had his victory he walked on the bridge to his new empire to rule. Rome. And that is how he became a christian and started to rule slowly the whole roman empire. That is how he came to so much power.
  • In Rome, the favorite was Maxentius, the son of Constantius' imperial colleague Maximian, who seized the title of emperor on 28 October 306.
  • Constantine avoided conflict with both Maxentius and the eastern emperors for most of this period.
  • Lactantius states that, in the night before the battle, Constantine was commanded in a dream to "delineate the heavenly sign on the shields of his soldiers" (On the Deaths of the Persecutors 44.5
  • Constantine with his army was marching (Eusebius does not specify the actual location of the event, but it clearly is not in the camp at Rome),
  • At first he was unsure of the meaning of the apparition, but in the following night he had a dream in which Christ explained to him that he should use the sign against his enemies.
  • Both authors agree that the sign was not readily understandable to denote Christ, which corresponds to the fact that there is no certain evidence of the use of the letters chi and rho as a Christian sign before Constantine. Its first appearance is on a Constantinian silver coin from c. 317, which proves that Constantine did use the sign at that time, though not very prominently.[
  • Some[6] have interpreted the vision in a solar context (e.g., as a solar halo phenomenon), which may have been reshaped to fit with the Christian beliefs later expressed by Constantine.
  • It was expected that Maxentius would remain within Rome and endure a siege, as he already had successfully employed this strategy during the invasions of Severus and Galerius.
  • The next day, the two armies clashed, and Constantine won a decisive victory.
  • Tiber were either taken prisoner or killed. Maxentius' Praetorian Guard seem to have made a stubborn stand on the northern bank of the river.[11] Maxentius was among the dead, having drowned in the river while trying to swim across it in a desperate bid to escape or, alternatively, he is described as having been thrown by his horse into the river.[12] Lactantius describes the death of Maxentius in the following manner: "The bridge in his rear was broken down. At sight of that the battle grew hotter. The hand of the Lord prevailed, and the forces of Maxentius were routed. He fled towards the broken bridge; but the multitude pressing on him, he was driven headlong into the Tiber."[13]

  • The historical record contains few details of Romulus' life. He was installed as emperor by his father Orestes, the Magister militum (master of soldiers) of the Roman army after deposing the previous emperor Julius Nepos. Romulus, little more than a child, acted as a figurehead for his father's rule. Reigning for only ten months, Romulus was then deposed by the Germanic chieftain Odoacer and sent to live in the Castellum Lucullanum in Campania; afterwards he disappears from the historical record.

  • Licinius' fleet of 350 ships was defeated by Constantine I's fleet in 323. In 324, Constantine, tempted by the "advanced age and unpopular vices" of his colleague, again declared war against him, and, having defeated his army of 170,000 men at the Battle of Adrianople (July 3, 324), succeeded in shutting him up within the walls of Byzantium. The defeat of the superior fleet of Licinius in the Battle of the Hellespont by Crispus, Constantine’s eldest son and Caesar, compelled his withdrawal to Bithynia, where a last stand was made; the Battle of Chrysopolis, near Chalcedon (September 18), resulted in Licinius' final submission. While Licinius' co-emperor Sextus Martinianus was killed, Licinius himself was spared due to the pleas of his wife, Constantine's sister, and interned at Thessalonica. The next year, Constantine had him killed, accusing him of conspiring to raise troops among the barbarians.

      There was two battles in total between Licinius and Constantine. The first, it was a draw, then they made an agreement for peace. Then after 7 years of peace Licinius started killing christians, which made Constantine to go in war with him again. This time Constantine won. after his victory he was about to kill Licinius, until his sister begged to spear his life. Constantine listened to her, and spared his life. After years of freedom Constantine striked again on Licinius, this time he was murdered in front of Constania(Licinius's wife Constantine's sister)

      Trajan decidied to make a new forum called Trajan's forum. Trajan had a lot of money. He wanted Appolodorus to do it. Appolodorus was a greek architect. During that time it was the greatest time to build. Appolodorus had to carve a hill in bricks for Trajan's new forum. 125 feet of elevation was chipped off. Att 112 AD Appolodorus finally finished Trajan's forum! To go to thr forum of Trajan would be a wonderful experience. In the forum there was a statue of Trajan. It was called Trajan's towe. It was 125 foot statue.Trajan's building was the largest building in Maseneca. In the forum there was a shopping mall that was three floors. There was a courthouse, a library,and had pools.

  • All surviving sources, except Pliny the Elder, characterize Caligula as insane. However it is not known whether they are speaking figuratively or literally. Additionally, given Caligula's unpopularity among the surviving sources, it is difficult to separate fact from fiction. Recent sources are divided in attempting to ascribe a medical reason for Caligula's behavior, citing as possibilities encephalitis, epilepsy or meningitis. The question of whether or not Caligula was insane remains unanswered. Philo of Alexandria, Josephus and Seneca also state Caligula was insane, but describe this madness as a personality trait that came through experience.[42][129][130] Seneca states that Caligula became arrogant, angry and insulting once becoming emperor and uses his personality flaws as examples his readers can learn from.[131] According to Josephus, power made Caligula incredibly conceited and led him to think he was a god.[42] Philo of Alexandria reports that Caligula became ruthless after nearly dying of his illness in 39.[132] Juvenal reports he was given a magic potion that drove him insane. Suetonius said that Caligula suffered from "falling sickness," or Epilepsy, when he was young.[133] Modern historians have theorized that Caligula lived with a daily fear of seizures.[134] Despite swimming being a part of imperial education, Caligula could not swim.[135] Epileptics are encouraged not to swim because light reflecting off water can induce seizures.[136] Additionally, Caligula reportedly talked to the full moon.[69] Epilepsy was also long associated with the moon.[137] Some modern historians think that Caligula suffered from hyperthyroidism.[138] This diagnosis is mainly attributed to Caligula's irritability and his "stare" as described by Pliny the Elder.

Then he put his favorite horse and make it apart of the senate. Now every meeting the horse went to. And in the circus Maximus he posiend the other horses so he can win. And not only that he became a gladiator. This man had to see a phycologist./
  • Caligula's actions as Emperor were described as being especially harsh to the Senate, the nobility and the equestrian order.[106] According to Josephus, these actions led to several failed conspiracies against Caligula.[107] Eventually, a successful murder was planned by officers within the Praetorian Guard led by Cassius Chaerea.[108] The plot is described as having been planned by three men, but many in the Senate, army and equestrian order were said to have been informed of it and involved in it.[109] According to Josephus, Chaerea had political motivations for the assassination.[110] Suetonius sees the motive in Caligula calling Chaerea derogatory names.[111] Caligula considered Chaerea effeminate because of a weak voice and for not being firm with tax collection.[112] Caligula would mock Chaerea with watchwords like "Priapus" and "Venus".[113]

  • Following an auspicious start to his reign, Caligula fell seriously ill in October AD 37. Philo is the main historian to describe this illness,[37] though Cassius Dio mentions it in passing.[38] Philo states that Caligula's increased bath-taking, drinking, and sex after becoming emperor caused him to become ill.[39] It was said that the entire empire was paralyzed with sadness and sympathy over Caligula’s affliction.[40] Caligula completely recovered from this illness, but Philo highlights Caligula's near-death experience as a turning point in his reign.[41] Josephus characterizes Caligula as a noble and moderate ruler for the first two years of his rule before a turn for the worse occurred.[42] Shortly after recovering from his illness, Caligula had several loyal individuals killed who had promised their lives for his in the event of a recovery.[43] Caligula had his wife banished and his father-in-law, Marcus Silanus, and his cousin, Tiberius Gemellus, were forced to commit suicide.[43][44]

She was a beautiful and reputable woman and according to Pliny the Elder, she had a double canine in her upper right jaw, a sign of good fortune.

      Agrippina is a head strong women. She basically grew up with royalty, so she wanted her son Nero to be a part of that. Claudius who was emperor at the time did not date anymore ever since his wife cheated on him. So Agrippina sdeuced him so her son Nero can be emperor. But he had two children. Claudius became ill and ended up dying. Rumor has it that Agrippina poisioned him. As the eldest Nero became the emperor thanks to his mother Agrippina! ( Not a good way to get what you want you think?)

      Agrippina died in a horrible way. She was paying more attention to her step-son Britanicus since Nero was acting out, so Nero got upset. She tried to kill her. The first way he tried to kill her was the she gave her a boat and then when she was on the boat the boat sank! She was so determined that she swam back to land. Nero was furious so when she was at her own she sent guards to go and kill her in any way possible. They were gonna cut her in many pieces but she said no and pointed to the place where Nero came from to signify what a mistake she made.

      As I said before Agrippina grew up in royalty. So she wanted a piece of it as well. When she made Nero emperor she tried to get in the popularity too. For example, Nero AND Agrippina were on the coin. Nero did not like that she was taking over everything.

      stilicho is a high ranking general
  • Stilicho was born in Germany the son of a Vandal father and a Roman mother. Despite his father's origins there is little to suggest that Stilicho considered himself anything other than a Roman, and he was probably not Arian like many of Germanic Christians and probably Nicene Orthodox because of his high rank within the empire. Most emperors, being Catholic/Orthodox, would have not trusted the Empire's security to an Arian, and Stilicho rose in rank under Theodosius I, who declared Nicene Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire.

      after the emperor died honorius becme emperor.
  • Following the death of Theodosius, Honorius became emperor of the Western Roman Empire, and his brother Arcadius of the Eastern Roman Empire. Neither proved to be effective emperors, and Stilicho came to be the de facto commander-in-chief of the Roman armies in the West while his rival Rufinus became the power behind the throne in the East. In this capacity, Stilicho proved his abilities energetically, although political manoeuverings by agents of the two imperial courts would hinder him throughout his career.
  • Despite his successes against the Goths he failed to stop the barbarians from crossing of the Rhine on 31 December 406. This crossing initiated a wave of destruction of Roman cities and military revolt in Britannia and Gaul. Failure of his 408 attack against usurper Constantine III, rumors that he had earlier planned the assassination of Rufinus and that he planned to place his son on the Byzantine throne caused a revolt. The Roman army at Ticinum mutinied on August 13, killing at least seven senior imperial officers (Zosimus 5.32). This was followed by events which John Matthews observed "have every appearance of a thoroughly co-ordinated coup d'état organized by Stilicho's political opponents."[2] Stilicho retired to Ravenna, where he was taken into captivity. Although it was within his ability to contest the charges, Stilicho did not resist, either because of loyalty to Rome or for fear of the consequences to the already precarious state of the Western Empire. He was executed on August 22, 408. His son Eucherius was murdered in Rome shortly afterwards.

      Octavian only became emperor because after Julius Caesar was assassinated he did not have time to change his will so everything went to Octavian. Instead of his son Caesarion. octavian and Antony were enemies. It was Octavian's idea to assasinate Caesar He was a coward. On the other hand he was a great emperor. The people of Rome loved him.
