Which Roman Emperor Are You?

So you're a little on the wild side, huh? I can respect that. Burning people's bodies in your botanical gardens? Maybe not so much. Nero's reign was characterized by tyranny and eccentricity, and he was seen by most of the public eye as an extremely dark time in Roman history. He had his own mother killed five years into his reign and many believe he started the Great fire of Rome and subsequently used Christians as a scapegoat. He was a mad narcissist, and liked to believe he had people's respect rather than earn it.

You're likely a Gemini, Cancer, or Saggitarius. You think of yourself highly, and want others to think of you the same way. You could be artistic or athletic, and you strive to stand out and gain praise in your hobbies. You're oftentimes a bit confused, and tend to jump to conclusions.

Your lust for power and popularity is great, but I wouldn't write it off as vanity... yet. Caesar Augustus, or Octavian, was one of the most famous Roman rulers (the first emperor, really) after his great uncle Julius. He rose to power after defeating Mark Antony, with whom we was part of the Second Triumvirate. He was a traditionalist, with no known vices, and was likely cold and calculating.

You're likely a Aries, Capricorn, or Libra, and you have a sense for yourself and the wants of people around you. You're smart, disciplined, and overall well favored. People shouldn't get too comfortable, however, because you aren't afraid to step on some toes to get what you want.

So you're an animal lover? Or is it something else...? Caligula was known for his militaristic brilliance earlier in his reign, but as his life went on he was known for his brutality and taste for torture. He became arrogant and insulting, and took special pride in causing others pain. As his mind deteriorated, his actions became wilder, even to the point where he elected his own horse into the Roman senate.

You're likely a Scorpio, Virgo, or Leo, and you're a fighter. Although you don't necessarily enjoy inflicting the bodily pain of others, you may enjoy watching a person fail in a funny or entertaining way. You're sympathetic towards animals, though, more so than people. You're smart and strategic.

Well hello goody-two-shoes! You're purer than Fiji water poured through a Brita filter. Constantine was the first Roman emperor to be converted to Christianity, and he legalized it throughout the empire. He was a pinnacle of virtue among other emperors, and was even named a Catholic Saint because of his piety. The story of his conversion is pretty wild- it is said that at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, he received a vision saying that he would fight under the protection of God.

You are likely an Aquarius, Pisces, or Taurus. You're a good person through and through, or at least on the outside if anything. Your faith in God is unmatched, so much so that you answered all the questions on this fun quiz as if you were in Sunday school. Good for you, you're on your way to having your own saintly title!
