- Roman_emperor abstract "The Roman emperor was the ruler of the Roman State during the imperial period (starting in 27 BC). The Romans had no single term for the position although at any given time, a given title was associated with the emperor. If a man was "proclaimed emperor" this normally meant he was proclaimed augustus, or (for generals) imperator (from which English emperor derives). Several other titles, such as caesar, and offices such as princeps senatus, consul and Pontifex Maximus were regularly accumulated by emperors. The power of emperors was generally based on the accumulation of powers from republican offices and the support of the army.Roman emperors refused to be considered "kings", instead claiming to be leaders of a republic. The first emperor, Augustus, resolutely refused recognition as a monarch. Although Augustus could claim that his power was authentically Republican, his successor, Tiberius, could not convincingly make the same claim. Nonetheless, the Republican institutional framework (senate, consuls, magistracy etc.) was preserved until the very end of the Western Empire.By the time of Diocletian, emperors were openly monarchs, but the contrast with "kings" was maintained: Although the imperial succession was generally hereditary, it was only hereditary if there was a suitable candidate acceptable to the army and the bureaucracy so the principle of automatic inheritance was not adopted. The Eastern (Byzantine) emperors ultimately adopted the title of "Basileus" (βασιλεύς), which had meant king in Greek, but became a title reserved solely for the Roman emperor (and the ruler of the Sassanid Empire). Other kings were referred to, in Greek, as rēx or rēgas, the hellenized forms of the Latin title rex, king.In addition to their pontifical office, some emperors were given divine status after death. In the theology of the Imperial cult, the rule of empire and the elevated status of emperors expressed the will and approval of Rome's traditional gods. With the eventual hegemony of Christianity, the empire was seen as part of God's plan to Christianize the world, and the emperor as Christ's regent on earth.The Western Roman Empire was dealt fatal blows by a set of military coups d'état in the Italian Peninsula in 475 and 476. After the death of the last Western Emperor Julius Nepos in 480, no Western Emperor was recognized by the Eastern Emperors, who ruled from Constantinople until the conquest of that city by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. The last emperor Constantine XI died in hand to hand combat defending the capital. A dynasty of claimants maintained the Imperial tradition in the province of Chaldia until its conquest by the Ottomans in 1461.".
