Ancient Rome/Catalogs/Roman Rulers

The Founding of Rome by Romulus is a Roman literary tradition. Rome was ruled by kings until the of them was expelled in 510 BC and a republic was established. In the power struggle that followed the assassination of the dictator Julius Caesar, Octavian emerged victorious, becoming the first Roman emperor in 27 BC under the title Augustus.

dates of emperors overlap where there are periods of joint rule (e.g. Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Versus) and where the government of the empire divides between east and west.
