	Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roman Empire is also used as translation of the expression Imperium Romanum, probably the best known Latin expression where the word "imperium" is used in the meaning of a territory, the "Roman Empire", as that part of the world where Rome ruled.
		Roman titles of power were adopted by successor states and other entities with imperial pretensions, including the Frankish kingdom, the Holy Roman Empire, the first and second Bulgarian empires, the Russian/Kiev dynasties, and the German Empire.
		The Holy Roman Empire, an attempt to resurrect the Empire in the West, was established in 800 when Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as Roman Emperor on Christmas Day, though the empire and the imperial office did not become formalized for some decades.

	Role of the Roman Imperial Cult During the Augustan Age
		In the Augustan age, the imperial cult was even more significant because it consolidated the young and undergoverned empire, mainly by recruiting the support and cooperation of the local elite in the provinces by giving them opportunities for social advancement.
		Complementary to the spread of the imperial cult during this period was the widespread diffusion of the traditional gods of Rome [10], as well as the revival and establish of ancient cults closely identified with Augustus and with his family, notably the cults of Apollo and Mars Ultor.
		Thus, the imperial cult, though an important political institution of the Roman empire, widely promoted and accepted because of the political and material benefits, did have religious significance and the emperor was truly have been regarded as divine and accepted as a god by some.

	Imperial Stemmata
		Since new imperial families often attempted to promote their ties to the old, this can sometimes help in understanding the history, or at least the propaganda, of a period.
		Another possibility is available: if a son of the consul of 153 married Septimius Severus' sister (their respective fathers were cousins, and while an uncle might not marry a niece, the kinship here would be acceptable), Aper would be part of a son's name.
		The praenomen Lucius, his own (and his father's), is not otherwise known in the Roman branch of the family (equally true if the consul of 207 is a grandson of the consul of 207 by another line of descent), but is known in the collateral branch.

		The Cleopatra Ode, a poem by Horace, opens with a bold juxtaposition of archaic Greek literature and contemporary Roman life, as the poet moves in mid-sentence from a motto taken from Alcaeus to an allusion to the contemporary Roman feasts of the Salii.
