  • Rome. The state that turned from tiny settlements around the Palatine Hill in central Italy into a vast empire that ruled most of western europe and mediteranean for centuries and formed the framework for todays states.
    Let us get into a journey through time, from Augustus, the first emperor of Rome, to the final ruler of the Byzantine Empire. Along the way, we'll encounter both great and terrible emperors, and witness golden and tumultuous ages.
    The map shows the territory controlled by the emperor at the end of his reign.
    When two or more emperors ruled jointly, it is indicated by a white line between their names.

    I find it bizarre that the last western Roman Emperor was named Romulus Augustulus and the last for the east was Constantine. It's like they knew the end was near and wanted to bring it back full circle.

      The last western emperor was actually Julius Nepos, after his title was usurped by Romulus's Dad he became the ruler of Dalmatia and after 476 until his assassination in 480 the last western roman emperor recognized by the east.

      @@angela_merkeI I'd say Valentinian III was the last "real" emperor in the west. He was the last emperor in the west to actually have at least a small amount of true authority over (what was left of) the empire. After Valentinian III, each subsequent emperor is nothing more than the puppet of a powerful barbarian warlord who has usurped all power in the western empire. Majorian and Anthemius may have been competent and both definitely had the spirit of true Roman emperors, but they were still nothing more than puppets who were disposed of by their master when he no longer had a use for them.
      Augustulus and Nepos were even more powerless than the puppets before them. There was no western empire when those two were "emperor." Its name was just being kept alive by puppet masters who were working out how to dispose of its already dead corpse without pissing off the eastern empire too much, hence the real power in the west (Odoacer) minting coins with Nepos's head on them to appease the eastern empire and give the impression that the west still existed when it didn't.

      @@CCP-Lies The best joke I ever heard. The Ottoman Empire turkified most of Anatolia and Greece, making them Muslim lands, uprooting all what classical and medieval Greece and Asia Minor stood for. Now, Asia Minor is home of the Turks, and not of Greeks and Armenians once living in Pontus and the Aegean coastline, who were forced to mainland Greece and Armenia.
      Ottoman Empire also drew parallels from the Roman Empire, in terms of politics and administration. If you call the Ottoman Empire best empire, you essentially claim that the Eastern Roman Empire is also the best, since most of the policies were associated from the previous empire.

    This timeline is also interesting because you can see how the culture and the art in the country regressed. During the republic era the statues were made with precision and dignity. Coins also were pieces of art. But then the techniques become lost and people don't have a desire to create. You can see fewer statues during the Byzantium era. And the quality of the coins gets worse and worse as well

      The Roman coins from the 700s to the late 800s look particularly well made and high quality compared to the previous and following centuries, the characters are readable and the detail was clearly added with care, though not a realistic depiction of the emperors, still a stylistic choice

      The Last Western Roman Emperor was Julius Nepos who ruled from Dalmatia after Romulus Augustulus had usurped the throne. Nepos was assassinated in 480 and the title was abolished be the Eastern Emperor Zeno afterwards. Roman rule in Gaul lasted until 486 as the domain of Soissons though the ruling general (Syagrius) never proclaimed himself emperor.

    Interesting how the artistic representations of the emperors went from realistic sculpture and well-detailed coins prior to the collapse of the third century, to simplistic stylized sculpture that disappeared entirely by the middle of the fourth century, and coins that became artistically debased to the point that they look like something barbarians would bash out (first in the West, then the East). No, Justinian, you can't get quality work like that anymore!

      They did produce realistic sculpture a little bit longer than that. I recently browsed though all the relevant of wikimedia common's 'art by century' categories to try and really pin down when Roman art declined. The latest truly quality classical works I could find where as late as 515 AD, a bust of the princess Anicia Juliana, as well as truly fantastic illustrations in a book dedicated to her, that's today called Codex Vidobonensis. In mosaics from the 7th century, I could find lingering traces of great realistic art in the postures and draperies of the figures, but nothing even close to Codex Vidobonensis quality.
