was he one of the worst emperors?

Yeah
I wish the movie had more of him participating in the games himself and how outrageous it was considered

>>213400087 (OP)
Yes but we’re still supposed to read his dad’s book and take his advice anyway

>>213400087 (OP)
he was bad but he wasn't one of the worst

He forgot about Caligula...
Shit, even Elagabalus was worse than Commodus.

Elagabalus comes right after the events of Gladiator 2, but Ridley already made Caracalla act like Elagabalus, wtf was that

Nero was the worst
He burned the Rome

I DIDN'T SAY I KNEW HIM I SAID WE JERKED OFF IN A SAUNA TOGETHER ONCE

honestly not really, the movie makes him more significant than he was.

honestly he might be worse than the evil and terribly incompetent ones because well at least they did stuff and were remembered

>>213400087 (OP)
you could make a decent case for his father being worse

Give your Roman Emperor dream team (hard mode, only one to two picks from the Julio-Claudian dynasty)

then give me your nightmare lineup to ruin your civilization

He was incompetent

The Senate couldn't sanction his buffoonery

>>213400331
my nightmare line-up is the julio-claudian dynasty

>stop outward expansion
>fail to quash political unrest in the heartland
>increase despotism
>get murdered and cause a succession crisis and subsequent civil war
>lead to the severans gaining power
yeah he was a pretty shit emperor

>>213400242
No he didn't, that's just a dumb Christian myth.

>>213400087 (OP)
Caligula and Nero were worse.

>>213400331
Nerva => Trajan => Hadrian => Antoninus Pius => Nerva
And the cycle repeats forever.

>Whatever I don't want to acknowledge is a "myth"
R*dditfags need to be hanged.

Sulla was better than all the emperors

>>213401421
He married a femboy and then got fucked in the ass by that femboy.

>>213400087 (OP)
The worst emperor was the one who converted to the jew cult that was christiany and destroyed Rome forever

>>213401553
zased..... so fucking zased

>>213401553
>kill your wife
>find a femboy who looks like her
>cut off his balls and marry him
yeah I'm thinking based

>I have existed since the morning of the world

>>213402599
>fists you

>>213402599
caligula was alive during the time of jesus christ wasn't he?

>>213404203
yes, he became emporer a few years after jesus was crucified

>>213401484
Came here to post this
Lvcivs Cornelivs Svlla Felix mogs ALL

Reminder that all the “le bad” emperors were probably good but were too nice to the working class it too mean to Christfags and so have been retroactively shit upon by the historians of their era.

Aurelian
I don’t need a second. If Aurelian’s reign lasted 20 years we’d all be speaking Latin

>>213400087 (OP)
One of the most overrated dependent on makeup/costume roles of all time. Fitting that it was guacamole.

>>213405033
this
>caligula was pure evil
>how do we know that?
>it was written down after he died by all these senators who hated him

>>213400087 (OP)
Caligula, Commodus and Elagabalus are pretty much universally considered the bottom 3, you can order them any way you like
Protip: Nero wasn’t that bad and the tales of his insane tyranny are mostly unsupported Christian and senatorial propaganda

>>213400087 (OP)
Failson of one of the greats.
