Template talk:Rome (view source)
Revision as of 01:08, September 18, 2016
, 01:08, September 18, 2016→Incomplete template: Several things need to be added
:I addition to this, [[Justinian]] and [[Diocletian]] should be added. The first ruled the Byzantine Empire, which was the Roman Empire in every respect other than the fact that he did not rule from Rome, and even though Diocletian committed the most violent and fanatical persecution of Christians in Roman history (and thus was not great), he still had a very large influence in Roman politics for a long time to come. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 10:13, 13 September 2016 (EDT)

:*Justinian is usually counted as an emperor of the "Eastern Roman Empire." The empire is called Byzantine after the language switched from Latin to Greek under Heraclius.<br/>It's redundant to put the word "Roman" inside the template if the title of the template is "Ancient Rome." I'd re-label the eras as "monarchy", "republic", and "empire." [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 20:07, 17 September 2016 (EDT)

:::I agree. However, by the time Justinian became emperor, the Western Roman Empire had been long gone, so the eastern empire was the only Roman Empire. Regardless, both "Eastern Roman Empire" and "Byzantine Empire" are modern historiographical terms, and he would have known himself as the "Roman Emperor". --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 21:08, 17 September 2016 (EDT)
