A portrait gallery of those who held power over Rome across its whole span: the legendary kings, the consuls of the Republic, and the emperors down to the deposition of Romulus Augustulus in AD 476.

Each figure is drawn from Wikipedia and Wikidata, with portraits, dates and the line of succession laid out as a single continuous sequence. It is the Roman cut of the broader Rulers of the Past atlas, and a sibling to Rulers of Ancient Egypt.
