From Augustus (the first emperor) to the division of the Empire into Eastern and Western Empires in A.D. 395 there were 147 Roman Emperors, including 7 ruling the rebel Gallic empire and 2 leading the rebel British empire in defiance of central authority. After A.D.395 the Western Empire lasted until A.D476 under 23 emperors. The Eastern Empire lasted from A.D.395 to A.D.1453 under 94 emperors. From this you can see that the number of Roman emperors will be 147 if you count only the rulers of the United Roman Empire, or 9 fewer excluding rebel emperors, and many more if the Divided Empire totals of 23 and 94 more emperors are included.
Constantine did not reunite the Roman Empire. The Roman empire was never split. Emperor Diocletian had created the tetrarchy (role by four) in 286. This was a system of co-emperorship with four co-emperors. Two of them were senior emperors (Augusti) in charge of the eastern part of the empire (Diocletian) and the western part of the empire (Maximian). The other two were junior emperors subordinated to the senior ones and in charge of the defence of the troubled frontier areas of the river Rhine in the west and the river Danube in the east. These were administrative and defence reform of a a single empire. The terms Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire have been coined by historians. The Romans had only one term Roman Empire. Diocletian stressed that the Roman Empire was indivisible. Constantine started as a co-emperor and became sole emperor in 324 after wining two civil wars, one against a usurper (Maxentius) an one against co-emperor Licinius.
The Emperor Diocletian was the one who created the Tetrarchy. The Tetrarchy was the division of the Roman Empire into four parts, with a co-emperors ruling over each quarter. Diocletian also oversaw the last period of persecution against Christians in the Roman Empire.
Emperor Diocletian, who created a tetrarchy to more effectively govern the Roman world. It consisted of two senior emperors (augustii) and two junior emperors (caesars), with the western capital based in Rome and the eastern capital in what would be Constantinople.
All Roman Emperors were famous in their own way. There were 192 people who claimed the title Emperor of Rome from 27 BC when the Emperor Augustus took control of the Senate until 1185 AD. Some of the later such would now be called Byzantine Emperors, but a the time they called themselves Roman Emperors. Second answer. Generally speaking most historians separate the ancient Roman empire and the Byzantine empire. The Byzantine empire lasted until 1453 AD when the Ottoman Turks took over Constantinople.
The Roman Empire was not actually divided. East and West were administrative subdivisions usually headed by two co-emperors (one in the east and one in the west) through sometimes the empire was ruled by a sole emperor. The purpose was to share the defence of the vast frontiers of the empire which were often attacked by outsiders at very distant locations. This had at times caused the Roman army to become overstretched.
The first Roman emperor was Augustus. However, there were more than 65 Roman emperors. Up to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire there were 91 emperors. The eastern part of the Roman Empire continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part and there were further 81 emperors. There were also 7 emperors of a short-lived breakaway part of the empire which historians have called the "Gallic Empire."
