The Roman Emperor was the ruler of the Roman State during the imperial period (starting at about 27 BC). The Romans had no single term for the office: Latin titles such as imperator(from which English emperor ultimately derives), augustus, caesar and princeps were all associated with it. In practice, the emperor was supreme ruler of Rome and supreme commander of the Roman legions.
In theory, however, Rome remained a republic, the res publica (literally, thing of the people), and the emperor's status was merely that of primus inter pares-first among equals. This legal fictionbecame increasingly meaningless as the emperors consolidated their power. However, it was maintained at least to a ceremonial degree until the very end of the Roman Empire. The Western Roman Empire met its end in 476 and the Eastern Roman Empire in 1453.....hope this helps???
If you mean the supreme general of the ancient Roman army, it was the emperor, or in the days of the republic, the senate. The Roman legions were each commanded by a legate, who was the supreme commander of his legion. Now, here's where the chain of command gets a little tricky. In many instances, the senate of the emperor would order an army of several legions to go into action and appoint an overall commander, such as Pompey or Caesar or Octavian. These men were supreme commanders and consulted with the legates of the legions under them.
The Imperial Japanese Army was the official armed force of the Empire of Japan, from 1871 to 1945. The Emperor of Japan acted as its Supreme General.

It depends on the "emperor" you are talking about. The emperor of Byzantium, or the Greek Eastern Empire, ruled a sophisticated state with many of the same powers and privileges as the ancient Roman emperors. The German emperors of the Latin West aspired to similar prestige, but ruled over a far more fractious polity and had to compete with powerful feudal barons for control of their realm.
The Roman soldiers, or army, was vital to Roman society. It was the army that provided Rome not only its security, but its wealth. The wealth was provided by the army's conquests which gave Rome new taxes and colonies. A victorious general was honored with a triumph and he was considered a god for that day. The army, in the later empire, also was responsible for the overthrow and establishment of emperors in many cases.The Roman soldiers, or army, was vital to Roman society.

Robert E. Lee - not appointed till January 1865, much too late to make any difference.

A supreme general of an imperial army would have to be a special person appointed directly by the emperor for a limited time in order to get a certain job done. You see, the Romans did not have the same command structure as modern armies, and the two can only be loosely be compared.
