Decadence, greed and lust ruled the Roman Empire,as demonstrated in this riveting chronology. Beginning from its earliest formations under the Divine Augustus to complete destruction under the lowly Romulus Augustulus, the Roman Empire is exemplified in its magnificent beauty and utter disgrace. From the delirious and degenerate dictatorships of Emperor Caligula and Emperor Elagabulus to the just and altruistic reigns of Emperor Marcus Aurelius and Emperor Aurelian, the Western Empire would see eras of grace and debauchery.
