		Rome had gotten into the habit of having a relative of Augustus as its emperor, but Nero was the last of these in a position to take the reins of empire.

		These six emperors all have something in common: Each was officially recognized by the Roman Senate as being a certified Emperor of Rome.

	Newsvine - Emperor Maxentius Insignia Found in Rome
		ROME — Archaeologists have unearthed what they say are the only existing imperial insignia belonging to Emperor Maxentius —; precious objects that were buried to preserve them and keep them from enemies when he was defeated by his rival Constantine.
		Excavation under Rome's Palatine Hill near the Colosseum turned up items including three lances and four javelins that experts said are striking for their completeness — digs usually turn up only fragments — and the fact that they are the only known artifacts of their kind.
		Some of the objects, which accompanied the emperor during his public appearances, are believed to be the base for the emperor's standards — rectangular or triangular flags, officials said.
