I've been looking for a timeline of every Roman emperor, from first to last, and I've found a few but none that are very detailed. does anyone know of a site or have a timeline of them that I could have? I just need it to answer some of the question I have been asking for so long to myself

Look on Roman coin sites, or ask the question(s) here.

actually putting the search terms Roman Emperor Timeline in Google turned up 550,000 entries...... :roll:

This is the place to go as far as I'm concerned, with most Emperors being described by leading names in the field.

VERY impressive list, Valerius. It's the most comprehensive one I've ever seen. My crummy book by Michael Grant stops with Romulus Augustulus wink:

Or if you want to have something simpler, perhaps my gallery links to fact files, which may be more like a "time line".

Very nice list!

wow, those portraits of the emperors look awesome Jona Lendering. thanks for helping me with another one of my silly questions everyone

Besides the net also having ready-reference hard copy is good too...plus it's less tiring on the eyes.......lol If you can get your hand's on such books that'll be a good alternative.

I have the book called 'Chronicle of the Roman Emperors' by Chris Scarre. The only drawback is that it only includes detailed facts up to Consatntine+Licinius and then skims through the last Emperors. Good book none-the-less. Hope this helps a bit.

yeah, again, thanks all

There are no silly questions, only silly answers. To which I add that the main symptom of stupidity is not that one asks stupid questions, but the refusal to ask stupid questions.

This might seem easy, but you'll be surprised (shocked) to see how many otherwise intelligent people refuse to admit ignorance, and blunder into disaster.

Chronicle of the Roman Emperors: The Reign-By-Reign Record of the Rulers of Imperial Rome The Reign-by-reign Record of the Rulers of Imperial Rome
Scarre, Chris Wilkinson, Toby A
Thames & Hudson THAMES & HUDSON
ISBN: 0500050775

This is a good book to start. It gives all the emperors with some pics and a short introduction.

cool, thanks for the info

I would like to recommend one book. It is "The Complete Chronicle of the Emperors of Rome" by Roger Michael Kean (illustrated by Oliver Frey).
Publisher is "Thalamus Publishing" (2005).

It is a coffee-table sized book and the pictures of the emperors are superb. These pictures are not very large, but the artist has really captured the features of the emperors very well, something which surpasses in my opinion the phtographs. It has also very beautiful end extensive maps. It is not very expensive and in this series there`s also abook about the byzantine empire.

I have also Chris Scarre`s and Michael Grant`s books about roman emperors but this book clearly outshines them (at least by the appearance)...

This is also a fairly decent list... Not sure how many of you use wikipedia.
