Augustus, followed by Antoninus Pius (I forgot to copy the results before hitting the Return button). But you can quite easily guide the results and get any Emperor you want. The advantages of a classical education...

Alexandru H.

It would have been more interesting to have more emperors put together: Aurelian is a great conqueror, who doesn't have a long reign, Elagabal is a little bitch, Alexander Severus is a beloved emperor that gets assasinated... having so few choices, it's way too easy to steer yourself to the desired choice...

Many tests are easily manipulated if one has a desired end result in mind.  The point is to try and answer as honestly as one can.

QuoteYou Scored as Trajan

You are quite fortunate to rank as the emperor Trajan, possibly the greatest of Roman emperors. You have relentlessly expanded the empire and even humbled the mighty Parthian empire. Loved by all, vastly larger than life, you are the model for all future emperors. It is hard to find a bad thing to say about you. HAIL CAESAR!

Too easy to twist the answers though.

No, but you're just wacky and full of outlandish notions, like Elagabalus.

I would have thought Claudius since he can be pedantic and dull at times.
Yeah.  Claudius even had similar ethnic obsessions, in his case the Etruscans.

Hadrian! Followed closely by Augustus.

Emo - whatever.  Frustrated, maybe.

Not so interesting.  I got Tiberius as well. :contract:
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

On the contrary, that makes it more interesting. :unsure:

I guess so.  Believe it or not, I was a reluctant owner of Languish, to tell the truth.  Odd how things come around.

Tiberius fits me well since he was an Emperor who pretty much never left his house.  I've actually been to The Villa Jovis up on Capri.  Island is pretty but the palace was had seen better days.

Raz played three verbs in a row for 300 points!
