Rome was ruled by emperors for 502 years. There were 138 emperor and 9 usurper emperors. Therefore, the biggest worry for a Roman emperor depended on the specific circumstances he had to face. These circumstances changed over time, following the twists and turns of Roman history.

The main types of problems which would worry a Roman emperor the most were:

1) Conspiracies leading to deposition or assassination

2) Rebellions by units of the army

3) Usurpations

4) Invasions and/or raids into the empire

5) Riots in Rome

6) Civil war (Year of the Four Emperors, 69, Year of the Five Emperors, 193, Constantine's war against Maxentius, 312, Constantine's war against Licinius, 324)

7) Secessions for the empire (Gallic Empire, 260-74, Palmyrene Empire, 260-73) or attempts to secede (Constantine III, 407-09)
