Which Was The Best And Which Was The Worst Roman Emperor?

A good emperor is someone who makes the right decisions, doesn’t kill people and has a good army.

A bad emperor is someone who makes all the wrong decisions, kills everyone and has a rubbish army.

First of all we have Caligula now Caligula was mad because he had a brain disease. His first sign of madness was when he started making funny faces at himself in the mirror, then he went and told all the senators that he was a god and if they don’t worship him they will be fed to the lions. After this he made his horse a senator, he had to answer everybody’s questions. And it still got worse next he decided there was something wrong with bald people so they got fed to the lions. His uncle Claudius came up with a sneaky plan, he pretended to be mad as well so that he wouldn’t get fed to the lions. Finally he asked his army to pick up all the shells of the beach, in the end his guards got fed up so they just stabbed him.

Next we have Claudius now Claudius was lame and had a problem with the nerves in his bottom lip this made him dribble. As Claudius was lame everybody thought he was weak. He conquered Britain and proved them wrong. This was a very big achievement for him because when Julius Caesar tried he failed.  Even though he was lame he was extremely clever. His wife Agrippina made him disinherit his eldest son Brittanicus so her son Nero could become emperor. So Claudius couldn’t change his mind Agrippina poisoned a mushroom dish and gave it to him.
