 Roman Emperor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
At some points in the Empire's history, the Emperor was only nominal quasi-head of state; powerful praetorian prefects and masters of the soldiers (and even at one point Imperial mothers and grandmothers) occasionally acted as what might be called "shadow emperors" (also called "emperors who weren't").
Tiberius's second wife was Julia Caesaris, Marcus Agrippa's widow (his first wife had been Vipsania, Agrippa's daughter by his first marriage); Caesar Augustus adopted Tiberius on June 26, 4, whereupon Tiberius himself adopted his brother Drusus's son by Marcus Antonius's daughter, Germanicus Julius Caesar.
Marcus Aurelius was son of Trajanus's great-grandnephew (and consequently grandson of the half-sister of Hadrianus's wife), and subsequently married Antoninus Pius's daughter Annia Galeria Faustina, and Lucius Verus was son of Lucius Ceionius Commodus, who had been Hadrianus's first choice as Caesar and Emperor-designate.

In 161 CE, Marcus Aurelius (121-180 CE) became Emperor in co-regency with Lucius Aurelius Verus.

Marcus Aurelius' son, Commodus (161-192 CE) succeeded him but was rather incompetent and was assassinated in 192 CE.

 Rome and Romania, Roman Emperors, Byzantine Emperors, etc.
While a thoughtful Emperor, like Marcus Aurelius, expressed ideals adopted from Stoic cosmopolitanism, the unity and universality of Rome soon expressed itself as the unity and universality of a state religion, Christianity, whose intrinsic exclusivism and intolerance became characteristic of the Middle Ages.
The peace ended under Marcus Aurelius, the closest thing to a "philosopher king" until Thomas Jefferson, but also a very competent general, who smashed a major German invasion across the Danube, while consoling himself with Stoicism for the miseries of war, plague, and personal loss.
There is a possible connection, since the Ossetians are descendants of the Alans, and Marcus Aurelius had settled a tribe of Alans, the Iazyges, whom he had defeated in 175 and taken into Roman service, in the north of Britain, where many of them settled at Bremetenacum Veteranorum, south of Lancaster.

 Perspectives in Numismatics - Eight Hundred Years of Roman Coinage
Aurelius shared his throne, first with Lucius Verus (A.D. 161-169), and later with his own son Commodus (from A.D. The harmony of the joint Augusti was widely advertised on the coinage, notably by types depicting the Emperors Aurelius and Verus clasping hands.
Of particular historical significance is the beautiful gold aureus type of Verus, showing in pictorial form his settlement of the Armenian problem in A.D. The emperor sits atop a platform, flanked by his officers, with the Roman nominee for the Armenian throne, Sohaemus, standing before him at the foot of the platform.
Notable by their absence were such names as Julius Caesar, Claudius and Pertinax, whilst surprising inclusions were Commodus and Severus Alexander, especially as the latter had never even been deified.
