Julius Caesar didn’t rule long before being assassinated, but he changed the course of history. After him, Rome was ruled by emperors – divine monarchs with absolute power. The Empire’s fate was now largely determined by the character of the men who held that office. First came the Julio-Claudians: there was clever Augustus, forgettable Tiberius, dangerous Caligula, doddery Claudius, and vainglorious Nero. After Nero’s death came the year of four emperors: Galba, Otho and Vitellius came and went very quickly. But Vespasian stuck around. He proved a very capable emperor. He was followed by his sons – the Flavians. Titus was as steady and sensible as his father. But Domitian was unhinged. His misrule and death, in 96 CE, brought the dynasty to an end.

The inside story of the emperors who ruled Rome.
Stretching from the north of England to the Sahara desert, from Portugal to the middle east, the Roman Empire was one of the biggest empires in history. And at the heart of this huge empire sat one man ruling over everything: the emperor.
Rome’s emperors could be good, bad, kind, cruel, sensible or unhinged. We’ll look at Rome first’s emperors through the eyes of the Roman historian, Suetonius. we’ll delve into their triumphs and tragedies, their follies and their vices. It’s quite the story. So let’s get going.
• how Caesar won total power;
• why so many emperors met untimely ends; and
• where we got the idea that Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
