What did the good emperors do?
Such a question only brings about bigger questions. What is a good emperor? Was there ever a good emperor? What is meant by good? An emperor, by definition, is a supreme ruler or monarch. The word itself is derived from the Latin word imperatus which meant; to command. In order to be a good emperor, it would seem that emperor must be skilled in commanding the populace. If that emperor is good, then he or she has effectively seized the power necessary to rule as a commander. Where did this power come from that this emperor seized? Who or what gave this emperor the authority to command or rule the people? There is a legal doctrine known as The Divine Right Doctrine, that posits that God Himself, or Herself, gave the emperor the right to rule the land and the people on that land. A good emperor would be well versed in this doctrine.Julius Caesar relied heavily upon Roman law in order to obtain his power of emperor over Rome. He obeyed as much of the law as was expedient to do so, but in the end took one legion from his army and crossed the Rubicon, and by entering Rome breaking Roman law as ancient as Rome itself. The die was cast and Caesar used his immense military skills to start and win a civil war. His command over his army could be considered a necessary skill required to be a good emperor and Caesars military genius was great and awe inspiring. When fighting Pompei for control of the Republic of Rome and after pursuing Pompei to Brindisium only to watch the elusive Pompei escape with Romes entire naval force, Caesar decided to wage war against his enemies and Pompei's allies in Hispania where he said: "I have set forth to fight an army without a leader, so as later to fight a leader without an army." Caesars ultimate victory over Pompei and the Optimates of the Roman senate that opposed him demonstrated his gift for leadership and command but his sense of politics and populism was another skill that made him a likely candidate for "good emperor".Because Caesar had not condemned his enemies and pardoned practically all of them the senate began bestowing honors upon him in abstentia and there was no real public opposition to him. As an emperor he found himself charged with the responsibility of forming a new calender of which he created the calender now known as the Julian calender that was used until the 1500's when the Gregorian calender replaced it. The month of July is named in Caesars honor. This, perhaps, is evidence of a "good emperor", but peace and prosperity were not to be a part of Caesars legacy as members of the senate soon conspired to assassinate him. The group was known as The Liberatores and included Caesars close friend Marcus Junius Brutus. Brutus along with several other senators stabbed Julius Caesar 23 times and killed the first emperor of Rome. After the assassination, Brutus went out into the streets and began yelling: "People of Rome, we are once again free."After five civil wars Caesar Augustus followed the death of Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire began. Were there "good emperors"? Was Caesar Augustus a good emperor? While historians tend to credit Augustus for initiating a period of time known as Pax Romana, under his rule Rome was in a virtual constant state of war. There were the civil wars that came before Augustus' rise to power and subsequently there were the wars with Pompeius and Antony and the wars that came with expansion and empire building. His legacy of peace stems from the empiric system he created. Many consider Augustus to be one of the greatest emperors Rome had known. Was Augustus a good emperor? His tact and political acumen and as with all of us his timing helped make him powerful and the policies he effectively implemented, the dynastic system of succession, and the steady expansion of the Roman empire seem to qualify as traits of a "good emperor" but the price of having a good emperor is the necessity to endure the bad ones. Nero, who could not possibly have fiddled while Rome burned because the fiddle had not yet been invented, but just the same is generally accepted to be a bad emperor and his legacy is the fall of Rome.Constantine, Napoleon, Peter the Great, and Adolf Hitler were all emperors. Were they good emperors? Is having an emperor good? Do people need such a leader? Does such a concentrated collection of power make for good government? Does Power corrupt? Does absolute power corrupt absolutely? Is power better used when more evenly dispersed? Where does such power come from? Do the people have the power? Should they so willingly hand it over to one tyrant or emperor? What makes a good emperor? Perhaps an equal distribution of emperors is best. Would that every man and woman would be the emperor of their own universe, taking command of their world and owning the responsibility that comes with such command building their own empires in perfect harmony. That would make a good emperor, one of all, each and all equal under law with the divine right to rule their own lives.
