This is a list of the Emperors of the Roman Empire 27BC (Augustus) until 476AD (Romulus Augustus).
Prior to this there had been a Roman Republic which started about 509BC and ended with Julius Caesar (who was a Dictator, not an Emperor) when Julius Caesar's great nephew and adopted son Augustus Caesar reached a 'first settlement' with the Senate and became the first Emperor. Sometimes the Emperor shares the title with a son, or maybe there is a West and East ruler.
