	Roman Emperor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Discussion of Roman Emperors involves a high degree of historian's editorial discretion, for the Romans themselves did not share the modern understanding of the monarchical concepts of "empire" and "emperor" (note that the Empire had all the political institutions and traditions of the Roman Republic, including the Senate and assemblies).
		This line of Roman emperors was actually generally German rather than Roman, but maintained their Romanness as a matter of principle; it lasted until 1806 when Franz II dissolved the Empire during the Napoleonic Wars.
		Orestes was killed and Romulus deposed (but not killed) by Odoacer in 476, and Iulius Nepos continued to reign as Emperor-in-exile until his death in 480 (the Eastern Emperor did not recognise Romulus Augustulus and considered him a usurper).

		In the age of Roman virtue the provinces were subject to the arms, and the citizens to the laws, of the republic, till those laws were subverted by civil discord, and both the city and the provinces became the servile property of a tyrant.

		"Roman Emperor" is the title historians use to refer to the ruler of the Roman Empire.
		Rather, the title "Roman Emperor" is a convenient shorthand for a complicated collection of offices and powers.
		In general, the Emperors cannot truly be described as the "de jure" rulers (nominally the Emperor was merely primus inter pares) and many were not "de facto" rulers, either (Emperors were frequently themselves figureheads for powerful bureaucrats, functionaries, women, and generals).
