It's already so rare to be born

Then you somehow get lucky enough to rule over an empire that spans from Northern Africa to Northern England with 1/4 of the worlds population under your rule

A man can only dream

Only to be executed by your Praetorian Guard if you do some shit wrong or piss them off, and have other mfers (oftentimes your own family members) competing against you for the throne.

You weren't really born, you had to take the power either through force, scheming or be appointed by the former emperor as a successor.

Or have your eyes poked out or your nose cut off in later periods

Being born the son of the Emperor and acceding to the throne would be life on gigaeasy mode. I should've clarified

Nigger you would be one of the children killed in someone’s climb to power

Far from gigaeasy mode.

You were not guaranteed the throne even if you were the son of the previous emperor.
There were no set rules for imperial succession, and you could fall victim to an ambitious general or senator.

If you managed to survive the chaos of a regime change, you would have to continuously placate the fickle military and aristocracy. Make One misstep or demonstrate a sliver of weakness and you could lose your head.


Purple blood failed to save Valentinian II from his grim fate
 
Imagine being roman soldier entering nerdic village in a misty cold shithole, raping nerdic woman and enslaving nerdic men so they can dig construction in Rome.

Either I’m Octavian or death

Tbh that's a risky life, you can't trust nobody. Enemy outside and inside your reign.

I'd rather be a gentle king of a remote village or something.
