Personally, I think more about the Visigoths who conquered and sacked Rome, and about the Mongol empire under Genghis Khan, who conquered the Visigoths and more territory than any other ancient conquest. I think it might be because of the Even-More-Alpha male thing.

@ElwoodBlues actually that wouldn't have happened if I'd have been in charge back then. I would have coordinated a vigorous defence and stop the Visigoths. But I suppose I would let Ghengis Khan be one of my puppet rulers because I like his fighting spirit.

@JudgeHolden You might want to check out a book called "The Lives of the Twelve Caesars" by ancient Roman author Suetonius. There were really only six Caesars, Julius thru Nero, but he carries on for a few more emperors.
Overall, those who ruled Rome found it a risky job:
If you'd been in charge back then, you'd have had a 33/77=43% chance of being murdered in office.

The Roman Empire was ruled by 77 emperors between 27 BC and AD 476 (503 years); ... 30 of the 33 murdered were killed by the sword or dagger (5 were beheaded), one was strangled, one was hanged and one was killed by stoning.

@FreestyleArt ok. In my Roman Empire I'm prolly gonna have to make you a eunuch or something.

@JudgeHolden there's no need. I respect your way of the Empire. I respect my way of seeing the empire.
Rome had its time in the sun. As an empire it failed itself and settled into the onset of nightfall in the trash bin of history. But many nations did.

If N = number of times per day, then
N = [testosterone level / weight] x [BMI]^2 x (square root of number of women he offends in a day)
