Order These Roman Emperors Chronologically

Arrange these Roman emperors in the correct chronological order of their rise to power, from the earliest to the latest. The Roman Empire was ruled by a succession of emperors for over four centuries, from Augustus in 27 BC to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD. This succession was rarely peaceful - Assassination, civil war, and military coups were common paths to the throne. The Five Good Emperors (Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius) represented a golden age of stable and capable rule; the Crisis of the Third Century saw over fifty claimants to the throne in fifty years; and Constantine the Great transformed the empire by adopting Christianity. Knowing the sequence of Roman emperors is a test of classical history knowledge.
