Julius Caesar was not an emperor. The images stop before Constantine I.

Nero's paternal line was Domitius Ahenobarbus...the cognomen means "red beard."

I'm shocked that they don't show Septimius Severus as a black man. After all, he was born in Africa.

Nero looks a bit like the p-whipped royal Harry

Nonetheless, Julius was cut short of the title - but deserves to be on the list because he started the whole imperial process..

Constantine is a personal favorite - given the oddities of Roman leadership style, he was the first step into relative normalcy.
