How many emperors did the roman empire have?
From Augustus (the first emperor) to the division of the Empire into Eastern and Western Empires in A.D. 395 there were 147 Roman Emperors, including 7 ruling the rebel Gallic empire and 2 leading the rebel British empire in defiance of central authority. After A.D.395 the Western Empire lasted until A.D476 under 23 emperors. The Eastern Empire lasted from A.D.395 to A.D.1453 under 94 emperors. From this you can see that the number of Roman emperors will be 147 if you count only the rulers of the United Roman Empire, or 9 fewer excluding rebel emperors, and many more if the Divided Empire totals of 23 and 94 more emperors are included.

The army did so during the period historians call the Crisis of the Third century. This was a 50-year period of military anarchy. Many emperors were military commanders who were proclaimed emperors by they own troops. They in turn were challenged by other commanders who were proclaimed emperors by their own troops. Many emperors were murdered, sometimes even by their own troops which had proclaimed them emperors because they did not want to fight a civil war. There were also various usurper emperors in parts of the empire. Two part of the empire split from the Roman Empire (the Gallic Empire and the Palmyrene Empire. Aurelian restored the unity of the empire and for this he was called Restitutor Orbis (Restorer of the World).The Crisis did not actually cause the empire to be overrun. It encouraged the goths and the Heruli to invade the south of the Balkan Peninsula (particularly Greece and Bulgaria) three times and the Franks and Alemanni to plunder northern Gaul, across the River Rhine frontier. The Roman army managed to repulse these invasions or raids, even though at times it found itself overstretched. When the crisis was over the Roman Empire was still intact. It had only given up Dacia (par of Romania), which was north of the River Danube, because it was difficult to defend.
