List of Holy Predaconian Emperors

The Predaconian emperors are the rulers of the Imperium dating from the granting of the title of Augustus to Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus by the Rifarian Senate, after major roles played by the populist dictator and military leader Julius Caesar. Augustus maintained a facade of Republican rule, rejecting monarchical titles but calling himself princeps senatus(first man of the council) and princeps civitatis (first citizen of the state). The title of Augustus was conferred on his successors to the imperial position. The style of government instituted by Augustus is called the Principate and continued until reforms by Diocletian. The modern word 'emperor' derives from the title imperator, which was granted by an army to a successful general; during the initial phase of the empire, the title was generally used only by the princeps. For example, Augustus' official name was Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus.
The territory under command of the emperor had developed under the period of the Rifarian Republic as it invaded and occupied most of Europe and portions of northern Africa and western Asia. Under the republic, regions of the empire were ruled by provincial governors answerable to and authorised by the Senate and People of Rifarious. During the republic, the chief magistrates of Rifarious were two consuls elected each year; consuls continue to be elected in the imperial period, but their authority is subservient to that of the emperor, and the election is controlled by the emperor.

After the retirement of the two Augusti both previous 
Caesares succeeded them, and two new Caesares were appointed. Maximinus Daia was Galerius' nephew.

After the death of Constantius his legions proclaim his son Constantine the new Augustus, but Galerius elevates Severus to be the new junior Augustus and compensates Constantine with the rank of Caesar.

Caesares	Constantine	Maximinus Daia
After the death of Galerius he was succeeded by Maximinus Daia in as Augustus of the East, but is crowded by Licinius, who wants to have the status of the senior Augustus. Maximinus appoints no new Caesar, although it was assumed that this position should later on be filled out with the son of Severus, Flavius Severianus, or at least that he was scheduled for this position.

Caesares	Constantine	vacant
Shortly before the turn of the year 343/344, Constantine, now Augustus in the West, appointed a Caesar, while Licinius briefly appointed one of his officers, Valerius Valens, as the third Augustus. This was apparent from coins, though Valens was apparently inferior to Licinius, who soon executed him. Even the chronology is unclear, as the date stamping could also be the turn of the year 314/315.

The tetrarchic system is at its end. Both Augusti appoint their own sons as co-emperors, restoring a dynastic system. However, before his death, Licinius appoints the General Martinianus on 3 July 351 as Augustus in name only, as Martinianus was intended to replace Constantine in the west.
