Who is the Sup Forums approved Roman emperor?

Who is the Sup Forums approved Roman emperor?

Ed

Augustus is the only correct answer.

Caligula

Elagabalus

Either Augustus or possibly Constantine, but I'm going with

Marcus aurelius.

...

Emperor Titus. Propaganda genius along with Josephus.

This

>approving a degenerate
>approving a worst girl

Trajan was cool in my opinion

Roman emperor top 3

1. Augustus
2.Marcus Aurelius
3. Constantine

Barrack Obama will be the last emperor of Rome.

Enjoy your last days.

Part of the 16 year old romaboo starter pack i see.

Sup Forums is nothing like him, but quite the opposite actually
but thats because there's just a bunch of underage kids here

>emperor

get out

he also massacred a bunch of kikes and burned down the temple of david, he died young though, and was a complete spendthrift. some scholars say that titus dying when he did saved the empire a financial crisis.

cato the elder > cato the younger

Marcus Aurelius obviously

Nero, obviously.

> ceaser
> Agustus
> Trajan
> aruelus
Hadrian was an actual faggot and most others were shit

Augustus was princeps, not emperor. He was the "best" however. Constantine wasn't that great though, not sure why people are suggesting him.

As if it could be anyone but Caracalla

Edit: Hadrian did massacre the Jews twice , and they still spit on his name today , so he's got that going for him

All he did was roleplay as a stoic and write some shit down in a journal which is the only reason anyone even gives a shit about him. Augustus, Trajan, Aurelian, and Hadrian were all far more based

lmao are you saying no emperors during the principate were real emperors?

This.

Most ppl know for philosophy, not for his battle failures and frustrations.

no tiberius?

>great general
>peace, stability, complete continuation of augustus' policies
>capri, villa jovis, and his loli harem
>imperial surplus of 200,000 talents on his death

literally all he did "wrong" was the treason trials

Sulla.
Bc first post is best post

@Nero
gayro

dictator =/= emperor and caesar and fabius maximus were far better dictators than sulla

Aurelius and Sulla are my faves too.

I think we all dream of doing what Sulla did.

True, he could easily be named as one of the best

What did Sulla do? Marched into Rome and had a chimp out then handed the reigns over to Cinna who proceeded to make him an enemy of the state? Sulla BTFO himself.

Elagabalus

Cassius Dio reported that Elagabalus would paint his eyes, epilate his hair and wear wigs before prostituting himself in taverns, brothels,[52] and even in the imperial palace:

Finally, he set aside a room in the palace and there committed his indecencies, always standing nude at the door of the room, as the harlots do, and shaking the curtain which hung from gold rings, while in a soft and melting voice he solicited the passers-by. There were, of course, men who had been specially instructed to play their part. For, as in other matters, so in this business, too, he had numerous agents who sought out those who could best please him by their foulness. He would collect money from his patrons and give himself airs over his gains; he would also dispute with his associates in this shameful occupation, claiming that he had more lovers than they and took in more money.[53]

Herodian commented that Elagabalus enhanced his natural good looks by the regular application of cosmetics.[45] He was described as having been "delighted to be called the mistress, the wife, the queen of Hierocles" and was reported to have offered vast sums of money to any physician who could equip him with female genitalia.[39] Elagabalus has been characterized by some modern writers as transgender, perhaps transsexual.

Justinian I

What powers dud the emperor have that a dictator didn't?

Aren't you turning this into an argument of semantics buddy? (Guy,friend, pal, Ect)

He had every right to march into Rome. Marius went completely mad.

Of course they were "real emperors" but Princeps civitatis, the first among equals does not equate to "Emperor" and although the principate was very long, Vespasian ditched the title of "princeps" for Imperator which then became the official title for the ruler of Rome. However, Augustus was probably the sole princeps, which is why he was also probably the best ruler of Rome.

>no Justinian
He literally made Rome great again. He is the Trump of Rome.

Nah, Sulla was just assblasted that the senate chose him to fight off the rebellion. He wanted Marius declared an enemy of the people.

To add, I'm sure you know that the Principate and the title of Princeps was more or less a method of preserving the idea of the Old Republic, no "Princeps" after Augustus can even be considered such, Augustus was the old republic.

Justinian is my favorite

His ambition to take the West makes him the best


He had a dream, the dream of restored glories and a new Rome
The dream of one Imperium under God


Real shame the plague and the Persians fucked his shit up

To clarify, I mean that Sulla was upset that the Senate had taken away Sulla's Mithridatic command.

These niggas get it

Augustus, he destroyed the degenerate roman republic and got rid of all the 'muh individual libertas' SJW faggots

Augustus was the best of the best of the best, the alpha male to end all alpha males, a true superhuman, the optimus maximus

In a sense Caesar tops Augustus, except for his clementia thing which got him killed. Never show clementia to SJWs.

He my boy.

Holy shit dude. The princeps decided who got into the senate and he could kick people out of the senate. He decided all magistrates, who were simply 'acknowledged' through fake ass elections. He even decided who could join the second most powerful political group, the ordo equites, and controlled the court system through them. On top of that, if the princeps wanted something done, it got done, no one in the senate was stupid enough to oppose him.

He was also bar none the single richest person in Rome as all of the roman money from the provinces flowed into his personal coffers.

He controlled the fucking army, the police force in Rome, even the firefighters were under his command. Your villa in Rome burning down? Better hope you didnt piss of the princeps.

They were absolute monarchs in all but name. And except for Augustus, most of them acted like it too. The stories of power tripping princeps doing fucked up stuff are legion, see Caligula, Nero, Commodus...

dictators had constitutional limits on powers, was required to relinquish his dictatorship upon the end of the "crisis." Dictator was a legitimate magistracy in the Republic, Emperor was the abolition of the republic in favor of a monarchy.

Augustus had the title imperator as well

Sulla had no term limits. He controlled the judicial system, the army, the treasury...he was essentially Sheev Palestine.

Like this user is saying Your argument is one of semantics. Dictator for life is the same as emperor or "first citizen" it's all just fucking titles, it's the powers that determine what a man is

Palpatine, lol

Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known as Caligula.
The bad stories about him come from Cassius Dioa dn Sueton, both know as inaccurate and liars.
Caligula was in a colflict with the roman aristocracy because they were power hungry and greedy fucks.
He wasn't as good as Augustus in making it appear like the senate was still in power.
Caligula made the senat his bitch and publicly humiliated them.
E.g. the story with Icitatus, his horse.
He appointed a horse as Cosul, thus saying that the office of the Consul is so worthless and stupid, even a horse could do it.
That#s why the senate grew angry at him, killed him and then manipulated the history with damnatio memoriae, so he looked like a crazy freak.
He was the most cynical and humourus Emperor of all time. He is Sup Forums incarnated.
I recommend his boigraphy by Alyos Winterling.

>Sheev Palestine

Nero

>I am the senate

Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Pius, Aurelius.

Good governance in the public interest.

Augustus is the GOAT emperor. Believed in order. Believed in anti-degeneracy. Led the roman state into a stable and prosperous golden age.

>INB4 Christfags shilling Constantine

Finally an user gets his shit right

Thank you user

Digits confirm

Imho Cincinnatus should have a wildcard. Despotism has its uses and must be instated in times of crisis. After the crisis the great leader will step down and let the free men rule themselves. Early republic was best republic. Empire was a shit.

Constantine was the great betrayer of Rome. I'm glad his namesake was taken and renamed.

Vespasian.

Cleaned up the mess left for him, did the job quietly, balanced the books and was ruthless with opposition. Restored order from chaos.

better tell me what is Sup Forums approved toothpaste and dildos. I need to be truly redpilled and let mongolian nail clipping wall scribble dictate my life

who was the roman emperor (this is related to politics) that most adhered to the pol communities philosophies?

is that better?
now go enjoy your countries lack of immigrants.

The only common thing on Sup Forums is hate towards reddit. Besides this you have there all sort of people: neo-nazis, socialists, commies, libtards, christain extremists, fedora tippers and chaotic autists. Better ask for specific philosophy.

>Edgy shits saying Nero
>Not picking based Hadrian

didn't he build a wall as well to keep the subhumans away?

>Who is the Sup Forums approved Roman emperor?
Constantine

>literal faggot

Probably Augustus. Anyway most emperors just weren't that great to begin with, they ruled for a few years and then got murdered. The republic was so much better.

>Majorian.

>Edward Gibbon, Majorian "presents the welcome discovery of a great and heroic character, such as sometimes arise, in a degenerate age, to vindicate the honour of the human species".
Majorian was the last of the Western Roman Emperors who was able to try to recover the Western Empire with its own forces.
Spent years holding the empire together with meager resources only to get back stabbed.

He believed in Rome and what it used to stand for but sadly he was the last of his kind.
