Connections Between U.S. Presidents and Roman Emperors

Throughout history, countless leaders play leading roles in the public; how do they claim their superior position? Is there a relationship between leaders and their lives, position, and their kingdom form? My goal is to find the relationship between President Obama and former President Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and the two Roman Emperor Augustus and his great-grandson Nero. Augustus returned to Rome after the transition period of the Republic and Julius Caesar was assassinated, and signed an alliance with Mark Anthony and Marcus Lepidus, who are known as the second trinity. Establishment of the Roman Empire.

Roman emperor ruled the empire with similar authority. However, this position is dangerous, and 15 out of the 22 emperors between Augustus and the 3 rd century passed away by murder or suicide. Compared with the Han people, the Roman Emperor was often assassinated and ruled in the short term. Tyrants like Caracalla and Nero caused suffering through the Empire, but the Emperors carefully expressed themselves as rulers dominated by the consent of the citizens. Compared with the Han government office, the Roman Empire is relatively insufficiently managed.

One of the main reasons for the collapse of the Roman Empire was the confrontation between the Senate and the emperor. Emperor Roman had legal authority to rule religion, citizen and military in Rome, and the Senate served as an advisory body. The emperor has power to live and die. Rich, spoiled and raised, wealthy Roman emperor inevitably rots and many people do degenerate, confused and immoral way of life. The Roman Empire saw many examples of conflict between Senator and Emperor. Senators do not like Emperor, Emperor is incompatible with Senator

During the transition from the Republic to the Roman Empire, the balance of constitutional powers was transferred from the Roman Senate to the regime (Roman Emperor). In theory, the Senate elected all new emperors; in fact, although this choice was often knocked down by military or civil war, each emperor chose his own successor. At least in theory, the emperor's power (his power) exists thanks to its legal status. The two most important elements of emperor's power are the "court's power" and "normal power". At least in theory, the court power (which resembles the civilian position under the former Republic) gave the emperor the power of the Roman Empire, but the ordinary power (the military ruler under former control or the power of the Republic As well) gave him the right. Power of the Roman army

During the Roman Empire, people no longer elected the main rulers. Emperor ruled Rome and was allowed to choose their heirs. Some emperors like Augustus still tried to make the republic exist but the emperor was really responsible. During the Roman Empire, Roman Emperor had a lot of power.
