The emperor of the Holy Roman Empire was elected by a college of prince-electors. A typical group of such electors was one that existed in the 12th century consisting of seven electors including:
Zeno was the emperor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire whose religion was Orthodox Christianity.
Greek empire, Roman empire, Medieval period.
The Roman empire reached its greatest extent under the reign of Trajan.
There were elected officials during the period of the Roman Republic. Their term of office was one year, except for the censors, whose term of office was 18 months.
Charlemagne did not find an empire (find, meaning discover). He founded and empire (found, meaning begin building up). The empire he founded is called the Carolingian Empire. Depending on the historian whose works you read, the Carolingian Empire was either the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire, or ancestral to the Holy Roman Empire.

Zeno was the emperor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire whose religion was Orthodox Christianity.
Diocles was a Greek name and there are no known men called Diocles connected to the Roman Empire. There was a historian called Diocles who wrote about Roman history. There was a Roman emperor whose name was Diocletian.
Emperor Constantine, who moved the capital of the Empire to Constantinople, ALLOWED Christianity in Roman Empire and converted on his death bed through the Edict of Milan. His tolerance accepted Christianity in Rome, NOT his CONVERSION.
He was the last Roman emperor of the Western Empire. At the time of his reign, the Roman Empire had split into an Eastern and Western empire. The Eastern Empire went on to become the Byzantine Empire but the Western portion was an "empire" in name only whose territory ended at the city walls. Romulus Augustus took the names of the mythical founder of Rome, Romulus, and the first emperor, Augustus, in a vain attempt to resurrect Rome's former glory. It didn't work. He was deposed by the barbarians who had invaded Italy, after which he faded from history.

The title of emperor was not hereditary, though in later times it was effectively so. When the old emperor died, a college of electors elected a new one from among those whose titles and experience fitted them for the position. The college of electors consisted of seven people, three bishops and four prince electors. The prince electors were kings or counts palatine, and their places in the college of electors was hereditary. After the emperor was elected, he was not immediately emperor. His official title at that time was King of Germany. In the Middle Ages, the final step in becoming emperor was to be crowned as such by the pope. This did not happen immediately, and in some cases only took place after years.
Roman isn't a language itself but rather characterized people and culture associated with the Roman empire. During the time of the Roman empire Romans spoke Latin.
Emperor Constantine, who moved the capital of the Empire to Constantinople, ALLOWED Christianity in Roman Empire and converted on his death bed through the Edict of Milan. His tolerance accepted Christianity in Rome, NOT his CONVERSION.

Unfortunately historians make a confusing use of the tem Roman Empire. They use it in two senses. One is the common one of territorial possessions. The other refers to the period of rule by emperors which followed the Roman Republic. In the territorial sense, Rome already had an empire during the Republic. Much of her imperial expansion occurred during the republican period. The Roman Republic and rule by emperors can hardly be compared. The Republic was headed by two annually elected consuls. The other officers of state were also elected annually, except for the censor, whose term of office was 18 months. The emperors were absolute rulers who exercised personal power; that is, they were despots. They appointed the officers of state and the imperial bureaucracy. The senate was turned into an instrument for the emperor's power.
