GAIUS IULIUS (the 3rd) CAESAR was a chad and OCTAVIAN (Augustus) was capable enough of a nepobaby to glide out the success of his grand uncle with the help of his co-adopted younger brother Juba II, aka GAIUS IULIUS (the 4th) IUBA.
Caesar adopted Juba II and named him after himself because Juba I (and his family before him) was a fellow friend of Bithynia and did an unfortunate oopsie of allying himself with Pompey in order to stop any implication of being against Rome itself or secretly being pro-Carthage.
The ones afterwards were spoiled nepobabies.
May the 4th be with (You) ;-)

Caesar's assassination is one of history's great silver linings. shit would have been a lot worse if he had kept ruling.

>>18451569
Caesar - great general, established the dynasty and was not an emperor. Assassinated by the Senate
Augustus - first true emperor, one of the most skilled politicians to ever live. Set Rome up to become a massive empire.
Tiberius - Augustus last choice as successor, a reluctant emperor who left Rome and let Sejanus rule for him which backfired for everyone. Did a decent job managing the State
Caligula - took the throne at a young age, was extremely competent at first, may have gone crazy after an illness or just a victim of propaganda
Claudius - probably involved in the assassination of Caligula, very good statesman, wrote a history of Gaul which unfortunately does not survive. Killed by his wife so Nero could take over
Nero - probably does deserve all the criticism he got, another young emperor more concerned with being an artist. Not a good politician. Killed himself before he could be murdered

>>18451863
I'm going to try to keep going without using google or anything on the Internet.
Galba - acclaimed as emperor after Nero's death. The first the year of 4 emperors. Murdered by the Praetorians
Otho - some gay dude who lead the coup and then killed himself because he lost to
Vitellius- Useless fat bastard, killed by Vespasian's troops
Vespasian - began the Flavian dynasty and brought much needed stability to Rome. Trouble with Judea
Titus - son of Vespasian held 100 days of games for the Coliseum inauguration, then died of sadness because the games were over.
Domition - brother of Titus, definitely got bad press from the Senate but was a very competent emperor, probably one of the most underrated of all

>>18451899

Nerva - Probably had Domition killed, was a shitty old man who only did one good thing which was naming Trajan as successor
Trajan - Top 5 emperor, took Rome to it's peak territory control.
Hadrian - Gay, Greek larper, traveled a lot, ended Judea
Antoninus - Lived too long, never left the capital, a good statesman and most known for many years of peace
Verus - STD ridden degenerate, died of plague. Co emperor with Marcus Aurelius until Verus died of Plague of Aids, who knows.
Marcus Aurelius - Philosopher king, loved Greek and stoicism. Had to fight Germans a lot
Commodus - Psycho narcissist retard, actually skilled athlete, competed in the Coliseum, probably fucked his sisters


That's it for now, I have to get back to work but I'll be back. I don't think I missed anyone yet, but I'm getting into the 3rd century crisis and will definitely fuck that up.

>>18451909
Here's where it will start to get tough. After Domition we have the year of 5 emperors. And I definitely don't remember all of these.
Pertinax
Niger
Julianus
Some other irrelevant faggot
I don't remember anything about them other than some shit about yelling over the wall to the praetorian guard
After that we get the Severans
Septimius Severus - Half breed punic, claimed to revenge the Antonines. First military dictator style emperor. Said Aurelius should have strangled Commodus despite having two shitty sons
Geta - son of Severus, murdered by his brother Caracalla. Did nothing of note.
Caracalla - famous retard that gave everyone Roman citizenship and killed his brother in front of their mother
Macrinus - I don't know what he did desu I was just happy to remember he rebelled or something and probably had Caracalla killed
Elabagalus - tranny faggot
Alexander - could have been a great emperor but was a momma's boy. Killed by Thrax

>>18451863
Sejanus was a based retard.
I also think it's really funny he is contemporary with Wang Mang. The two famous usurper wannabes? Yeah they lived at the same fucking time.

>>18452032
Now I'm absolutely in trouble, I just hope to make a half decent show on my way to Aurelian
Thrax - some giant retard who impressed Severus. First barracks emperor
Gordian - there were two of them, the old man killed himself
Poopy anus - funny name
Some more retards that probably didn't last long I don't remember
Philip the Arab - killed someone to become emperor, threw one hell of a party
Philips brother or son - who cares, irrelevant nobody
Decius - Persecuted Christians, cool name

>>18452180
After Decius I am going to botch the fuck out of this list for a while.
There's a Galienus, a Gallus, and Amelianus in there. Valerian got captured in Persia. There's like 10 more emperors in there before Gothicus and then
Aurelian - reunited the empire, nuked Palmyra. Pretty bad ass emperor, a good general and politician. Assassinated by retards
Lost again. Probus and Tacitus I remember, eventually we get to Diocletian
Diocletian - completely reinvented the Roman State and the office of emperor. Consciously took Eastern influence into his reshaping of the office. Had 3 co-emperors. And no I'm not naming them all too. Just going to note there were other claims to emperor
Galerius - mostly known for hating and being hated by Christians
Licinius - Galerius choice as successor, fought off all the other tetrarchs, except Constantine. They have a long cold/hot civil war
Constantine - The first Christian emperor, did not make the empire convert. Founded New Rome aka Constantinople. Killed his own son. Shitty person but excellent general and politician.

>>18452240
Constantine 2
Constantius
Constans 2
All sons of Constantine, fought a three-way death match for the empire. Constans 2 wins. Paranoid but actually decent emperor
Julian the Apostate - tried to reverse Christianity and created a pagan hierarchy. Quickly abandoned after he died fighting Persia
Jovian- took over after Julian, I'm just impressed I remember this.
Valentinian dynasty I don't remember the order or any names other than Valens and Valentinian. Valens died fighting Goths

Honestly don't really care much now I barely studied the late empire and am much less confident. I'm pretty sure I skipped at least 20 already. I know the Theodosian family comes up
Theodosius - The one who actually converted the empire to Christianity

Some other guys I don't remember, it really starts to devolve into German generals and the State split.
Aetius is not an emperor but he was the last good Roman.
Last two people that mattered were Stilicho and Ricimer and neither were Roman.


That's it for me anons

I can't let this thread die until OP comes back

>>18452269
Constantius II paranoia was totally justified. His father killed his own eldest son. His brother Constantine II waged war against his brother Contans and got killed in a very dumb way. Then Magnentius rebelled against Constans and killed him. Then, when he went to deal with Magnentius, his cousin Gallus went crazy and had to be put down. And then Silvanus revolted in the Gaul, Constantius dealt with him and elevated Julian to the rank of Caesar, to restore the order in the West while he went to the East to fight the persians. And then, Julian revolted. Also, it's worth nothing that just after ascending to the throne, Constantius ordered the killing of most of his family, including the parents of Gallus and Julian
The Constantinian dinasty is a fucking soap opera, full of backstabbing. And I love it

>>18451863
>probably does deserve all the criticism he got
I wouldn't necessarily say that, Nero was vain and short sighted sure, but those aren't flaws that also couldn't levied at someone like Caesar, he was ill suited and not willing actually be emperor but he did kept the masses broadly happy during his reign, really Nero isn't unlike a contemporary modern politician in his outlook of how to manage the empire, basically spend all the money and hope the buck doesn't stop at you, there are plenty of "great" men that had similar strategies and got away with it.

just ask chatgpt. this is basic, non-obscure stuff, it won't output nonsense.

I think he was a good emperor, but definitely paranoid. That family was 10x worse than Severans so I don't blame him.
