Roman emperors did not usually die in battle in any period. Only five Emperors died in battle. They were Gordian II (reigned for less than a month in 238) died in a battle in a civil war at the head of an untrained militia which was defeated by a professional legion; Decius (reigned 249-251), and his son Herennius Etruscus (reigned as co-emperor in 251) whose army got stuck in a swamp and was annihilated by the Goths; Constantine II (reigned 337-340), who died an ambush during a civil war with his brother Constans; and Julian (reigned 360-363) who died of a major hemorrhage three days after being wounded while pursuing a retreating Persian column.

There was a disproportionate number of emperors. The Western Roman Empire started to disintegrate when parts of it were invaded by the Germanic peoples. There was a lot of infighting and political instability. No one stayed in power for very long and many usurpers proclaimed themselves as emperors of proclaimed their sons emperors.
Most of the emperors were to young or sick to rule.
During the period of the monarchy red as the colour of the kings. During the period of rule by emperors purple was the colour of the emperors.
The period of decline did not just follow the 96 years of the reign of the five good emperors. It followed the 200-year period of relative political stability which followed the establishment of rule b emperors by Augustus which historians call the Pax Romana. The authority of the emperor weakened and at the height of the Crisis of the Third Century there was military anarchy and continuous civil wars. Many of the emperors were military commanders who were proclaimed by their own troops. The turnover of emperors was fast. Many of them were deposed and often murdered. Sometimes they were murdered by their troops, the very troops which had proclaimed them emperors. This made it easier for peoples who lived outside the empire to try to invade it. There were invasions both in the east and in the west and at times the army was overstretched. There was also a collapse in trade due to hyperinflation. This was due by the devaluation of the Roman coins and the minting of too many coins. After this crisis the empire recovered, but did not regain the previous levels of prosperity.
Constantine the Great was the first of the Christian Roman Emperors. He was quite contradictory, however, to Emperors such as Nero who had Christians killed.
The leaders of the Roman empire during its decline were the emperors.
