I like Roman history better when they were republic than empire period, so I will pick a statesman and a general - Publius Cornelius Scipio.

I always was excited of what Gaius Mucius Scaevola' did. He is a real stoic.
I also read Mark Avrelius' 'Thinkings' (I spell it from the russian analog).
I don't like Seneca, 'cause of his character. And honestly, most of characters in Roman history
are impressive but I can't say I love them, I'd rather hate them. And I'm glad
that Rome was taken by barbarians, goths and the others. Augustin wrote in his monumental work,
that romanians at the time he lived were more worse than the christian outsiders.
What life of roman's were then? To go to the 'theatre' and to see christians will be torn apart in
arena with lions... It reminds me present times, just the arena has changed to the television
arena with the same applouses and the same stupid watchers of the show...

Tough, but gonna say Hadrian. But really, any of the five good emperors are close behind.

For me, Augustus and Constantine the Great! It would depend on what time period what Rome was in. If it was the WRE and ERE period, it would be Justinian I, because he reclaimed most of the borders of the old Roman Empire. With the ERE, it would have to be... none of them, because they were all trash. |

I know it wasn't, it's better to call it by modern terms than the successor kingdom or Byzantine Empire because the majority of people don't know what Byzantine means. ERE or WRE give an idea of what they were. ERE is the Eastern Roman Empire and WRE is the Western Roman Empire. |

Justinian was a worthy emperor! Not according to Procopius. Do you believe his "Secret History"? |
