There were 177 emperors after Augustus. There were four more in his direct line, the Julio-Claudians, 81 emperors of the west and 97 emperors of the east.
Until Augustus's reign (the Republic) the Senate ran the Empire, then it was a long line of Emperors.
The emperors never established a clear line of succession, leaving decisions to the army.
"King of the Romans" (upon election to the throne) "Emperor of the Romans" (upon being crowned by the pope) or "Holy Roman Emperor" (a modern term for the monarch of the Holy Roman Empire)
The Celts are believed to have been the first inhabitants of Germany. They were followed by German tribes at the end of the 2nd century B.C. German invasions destroyed the declining Roman Empire in the 4th and 5th centuries A.D. One of the tribes, the Franks, attained supremacy in western Europe under Charlemagne, who was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 800. By the Treaty of Verdun (843), Charlemagne's lands east of the Rhine were ceded to the German Prince Louis. Additional territory acquired by the Treaty of Mersen (870) gave Germany approximately the area it maintained throughout the Middle Ages. For several centuries after Otto the Great was crowned king in 936, German rulers were also usually heads of the Holy Roman Empire. By the 14th century, the Holy Roman Empire was little more than a loose federation of the German princes who elected the Holy Roman Emperor. In 1438, Albert of Hapsburg became emperor, and for the next several centuries the Hapsburg line ruled the Holy Roman Empire until its decline in 1806. Relations between state and church were changed by the Reformation, which began with Martin Luther's 95 theses, and came to a head in 1547, when Charles V scattered the forces of the Protestant League at Mühlberg. The Counter-Reformation followed. A dispute over the succession to the Bohemian throne brought on the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), which devastated Germany and left the empire divided into hundreds of small principalities virtually independent of the emperor.
The Holy Roman Empire included most of modern Germany. In the eastern portion of Charlemagne's empire, his heirs lost power to local nobles called dukes. After the last member of Charlemagne's line died, the dukes began electing one of their number as king. One of these kings, Otto I, was crowned by the pope as "Emperor of the Romans" in 962. Otto's lands were known as the Holy Roman Empire and included what is today Germany and Italy.
The Flavian Dynasty was a short-lived, though influential, line of Roman Emperors famous for their war with Judea and construction of the coliseum. Vespasian (69 CE - 79 CE) Titus (79 - 81) Domitian (81 - 96)
The emperor was by birth, descended from a long line of emperors going back to the Sun Goddess in Japanese mythology. The shogun was a military dictator who seized the power, and ruled - in theory - in the name of the emperor.
A long line of kings or rulers is often referred to as a dynasty. This term describes a succession of rulers from the same family or lineage, passing down power and authority from one generation to the next. Examples include the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt, the Roman Emperors, and the British Monarchy.
