Wanna Be a Roman Emperor? (We Have Notes!)

by Rachel Chen & Lene Sun

So, you're thinking about a career as a Roman Emperor? Excellent choice! The perks are great: absolute power, fancy laurel wreaths, and your face on a coin.

The downsides? Oh, just the occasional conspiracy, poison-in-your-wine situation, and a surprisingly high chance of being stabbed by people who swore they were your best friends.

Our writers have bravely navigated the glorious and utterly chaotic lives of Rome's top bosses to bring you this PDF. It's your essential guide to who was great, who was… not so much, and who definitely should have avoided any knives that day.

Perfect for teachers who want to make history fun and for students who enjoy a good story (and a healthy dose of drama).
