This is a list of
Roman Emperors. Shown are the dates of their reign. Note that, contrary to popular belief,
Julius Caesar was never Emperor (
imperator), although he was named
dictator (but was not the first Roman to hold that title).
For the worship of the Roman Emperor as a god, see imperial cult.
