::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&#39;sguy|1990&#39;sguy]] ([[User talk:1990&#39;sguy|talk]]) 21:08, 17 September 2016 (EDT)

::::The historians have established conventions on these things and I don't see a good reason not the follow them. The fact that Justinian is classified as Eastern Roman rather than as Byzantine is all the more reason to put him on the table. [[Aurelian]], [[Mark Antony]], [[Scipio|Scipio Africanus]], and [[Cicero]] probably belong on it as well. Washington certainly looks out of place here.
