Emperors Of Rome

(This page gives us the most
accurate and up to date information on Rome's previous and current leaders)

One day a group of clans came together and decided to attack
Rome, SPQR did all he could to fight these clans off but eventually Rome was
defeated and slowly died off.

SPQR by this time had returned to Rome to serve as "
honorary emperor" only below Josh. This brought upon the days of glory for
Rome as Rome stood in triumph over her many enemies. Rome became blind with
glory and arrogance as they failed to catch an enemy spy who climbed through
the ranks and eventually one day kicked everyone from Rome, technically but not
literally, destroying Rome. Josh came back  and restored Rome to it's
former glories with the help of all those still loyal to him. Sparta rose again
and Rome faced them again, defeating them after many hard battles causing them
eventually to fall. Thus the Golden Age of Rome began. Rome grew ever more
powerful after this victory as they prospered and celebrated their great
success,

Rome thought she was safe and stable when one day once again a
spy managed to climb trough the ranks and click everyone from Rome.
Disheartened, Josh quit runescape and allowed Rome to die for several months
until he came back for one final attempt which miserably failed. Sparta rose
once more and months later fell as well.  As time went on, her sands
covered the many battles that had taken place between the two clans, and the
greatest rivarly in Runescape history was lost to all except the minds of a
few.

Josh returned to the game in 2013 to find Rome alive again under
the leadership of one of his old Generals Spy 300 (Arkaten). Filled with
happiness to see Rome alive again Josh was able to finally rest in peace. Josh
returned again during the reign of Emperor Vocho and joined a rebellion to
remove him from power.  This rebellion failed as Vocho and Rome were far
too powerful to be harmed by it, so Josh once again left runescape, only to
return in 2015 to find Rome under the leadership of Arkaten once more. Josh was
recruited into Rome and along with Arkaten and Baal Agares aided Rome in
recruitment until one day he became hostile towards Arkaten because Arkaten
refused to give him the throne of Rome.  He began to speak ill of Rome and
these actions caused the old emperor to be cast out by Arkaten and Baal Agares.
Being kicked and banned from Rome, Josh in anger tried to gather Rome's enemies
together to have them face Rome but his plan ultimately failed and Josh has not
been since.

### **Arkaten ( 2013-2016( 2 years between 2013-2016) 4th Emperor**

Arkaten 1st joined Rome in 2010, and when Rome fell in late 2011, he left the game due to irl reasons.

In the summer of 2013 one of Josh's old Generals came back to
Runescape with a goal in mind, that goal being  to bring the once mighty
Roman Empire back and restoring it to it's former glory. Arkaten's early attempts
were complete failures as the clan was not able to support itself and would
quickly die off. Months later after several attempts, Rome again stood a clan
of significance throughout the free worlds. Arkaten is recognized as one of the
most beloved Emperors for bringing Rome back from the dead along with being the
1st Emperor to ever command multiple Legions within Rome. Arkaten's most
significant victory was  over The Republic of Villie, lead by Lancelot, a
dominant and ruthless leader that would fight Rome over Varrock. After the war,
the Republic of Villie perished almost instantaneously and Lancelot quit
playing Runescape for a long period of time. Months later Arkaten and him
became good acquaintances.

After the fall of Villie, Arkaten faced another threat, a
dangerous group that went by the name of Devgru who's leader Itz a god, once a
Roman, rebelled against Rome for not receiving a reward he claims was promised
to him. Devgru and Rome never faced each other in proper battle but met many
times in skirmishes with victories on both sides. The Assassins intervened in
this conflict and sought to have both clans destroy each other.  When Itz
a god found this out he finally thought it was enough and went to Arkaten to
ask for peace.  Peace was granted and Devgru never again became involved
in Roman affairs.

After these conflicts Rome entered a time of peace and
prosperity. Arkaten finished his 1st term in February of 2014 passing the
throne to Vocho. In September of 2015 Arkaten was made Emperor of Rome during
Rl Firewind's short reign thus starting his 2nd term.

Soon after Arkaten's return as Emperor he was politically
attacked by opposing parties who did not agree with his sudden and blunt return.
A great rebellion errupted due to the insubordination of Rome's Legion III who
opposed Arkaten's structure of Rome which included strictness and organization
throughout the Legions. At the time there were 4 active Legions, the 1st, 3rd,
5th and the 6th.  The 3rd began the rebellion and wished for their Legate,
Synth, to be crowned Empress instead of Arkaten, the 5th became neutral and
left the Empire, while the 6th supported the 1st until it's Legate Cdg began to
envy Arkaten's position and he too wanted the crown. Arkaten, outnumbered by
the legions created a 7th Legion to aid him in case war ever broke out, war
never broke out but if it did, even the mighty Spartans of Photon were ready to
fight by Arkaten's side.  This created a strong lasting friendship between
Arkaten and Photon.

After the rebellion Rome began to once again build up the Empire
since the rebellion had left it with very few people to work with. Rome's power
grew immense in the following months.  Rome destroyed multiple enemy clans
who tried to oppose her, the most significant of them being one named SPQR
Senate who claimed to be the real Rome.

One day a gang by the name of 24z Mofoz declared war on Rome
because they wanted recognition for doing so. 24z wanted to fight Rome clan vs
clan but considering the fact that they did not have a clan but instead a
friend's chat that they could easily fill with randoms, Arkaten declined to
their terms. Arkaten told 24z to create a clan but they refused and the only
alternative became doing an allied war.  Rome gathered her allies which
were Sparta and a few people from Argos.  24z knowing their chances for
victory were now ever more slim ran and gathered most of Rome's enemies to
fight by their side. These clans included AOA, Asgarnian Empire, Team Lettuce
and a few that were unknown along with a massive crowd of randoms. Rome lost
the Great World War due to the opposing team outnumbering them by more than 20
men.  All together about 200 people fought in that war, making it one of
the largest if not the largest battle ever fought in the free worlds. When the
war was over the 24z Mofoz left w3 and were never seen again. Before leaving
they paid Rome their respects and considered them enemies no more. Although
this was a major defeat, the Roman Empire was but slightly impacted and took
pride in their efforts.  After the battle Rome continued on as a
powerhouse while every clan that opposed them faded into the shadows.

Arkaten and his 2nd in command, Baal Agares disagreed upon a
decision of rank and it resulted in Baal Agares rebelling and attacking Rome by
kicking people and disturbing the ranks of other innocent Romans.  This
resulted in Arkaten kicking Baal Agares and exiling him from Rome.

On June 5th of 2015 Arkaten crowned Doc Whovark Empress of Rome.
Arkaten had to leave Rome due to real life issues that prevented him from
staying.

After Doc was unable to continue leadership, Arkaten reasumed
power and led Rome through the rest of 2015.  As of 9/4/2015, he was
presently the Emperor of Rome.

Arkaten along with the reunited Baal Agares and Vespasion
elevated Rome to new heights throughout the months with constant recruiting,
events and white portal battles Rome became even a more permanent presence in
the free worlds then it already was, Rome was faced with a new enemy who
attempted to be as dominant as Rome was, by making Falador their home. Rome
challenged the Falador Republic to battle and on the day of war they failed to
show up, therefore losing the battle. Shortly after, the clan vanished.

In 1/20/2016 Arkaten's life got busy with school and his job and
he became unable to give Rome the time it deserved. That day he crowned
Vespasion as Emperor of Rome.

More than a year after Arkaten crowned Vespasion as Emperor and
Vespasion crowned Agares, Arkaten found himself, once again leading Rome in
early 2017.

Arkaten now leads the clan Gladiatorial along with Spirit Koi ( Gory Death ) 2019.

### **Vocho (7months 2014) 5th Emperor**

Vocho served Rome for a short period in the times of
SPQR\_Caesar.

Vocho rejoined join in 2013 and quickly earned the rank of
Legate and was assigned to lead the 3rd Legion. In February of 2014, Arkaten
appointed Vocho as the 5th Emperor of Rome. Vocho was a very loved Emperor and
is mostly known for mustering the highest amount of soldiers Rome has ever had
at one point in time, Vocho created the 4th, 5th and 6th Legions and lead them
well until disaster struck leaving him only with the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th.

Vocho faced a powerful enemy in these times, the Persians, they
went by the name Persian Immortals and were a group of nsers who decided to get
together and make a clan to attempt and destroy Rome, like all many before them
they failed. After a numerous amount of confrontations between Rome and Persia,
Persia eventually gave up realizing their efforts were in vain. Rome had
crushed this threat with their uprising might.

Baal Agares still served Rome at this time and he began to
dislike the way Vocho lead Rome as he thought it lacked organization and
discipline, so he began a rebellion and took many Romans with him as he lied to
them about Vocho to gain support. Out of pure coincidence Josh117snipe had
returned to check on Rome and this rebellion caught his eye and he joined in
the quest to remove Vocho from power. Baal Agares and Josh117snipe convinced
Arkaten to join them in their rebellion, yet Arkaten had brothers in both sides
so he quickly regretted the decision and left Baal Agares and Josh117snipe on
their own. The days went by as both Romes prepared for war, but without warning
Josh117snipe disappeared once again leaving his officers without proper
administration, causing the clan to crumble within days.

With the rebellion over Vocho and Rome stood in triumph, and
with no enemies left to fight Rome grew to great extends and enjoyed a long
period of relaxation and prosperity.

This period lasted for a good amount of time until the tensions
with Sparta begun.

Photon, a previous Roman officer who had participated in Josh's
rebellion decided to make her own clan, she decided to revive the old clan of
Sparta, under a new name and leadership. Rome saw no problem there, until
Photon decided to house one of Rome's most hated enemies, Rome warned Photon,
telling her to remove this individual from her clan or she would be destroyed,
Photon refused, causing Vocho to declare war on her.

Photon chose not to face Rome in proper clan wars contest making
her decision look cowardly in the eyes of most Romans and of the remaining
Spence supporters(Original leader of Sparta) Photon was later forgiven and seen
in the eyes of Rome as a neutral individual.

Months later the leader of the Revival, Scuba 77 declared war on
Rome due to high violent tensions between the 2 clans, the war was meant to be
a war in which allied forced could be used by either side, Rome gathered it's
masses using only Roman personnel for the battle while The Revival entered the
battlefield with a high amount of allies by their side who shared an equal
sense of hatred towards Rome. The battle occurred and Rome stood defeated.

After the battle Vocho got busy with his daily life and chose to
give leadership to Emperor Fire. Despite Vocho's last defeat, he took Rome to
new heights by strengthening it's military force throughout the Legions and
making Rome a friendlier clan then it ever was before, thus creating many
friendships with foreign clans.

### **Doc Whovark (4 months ) 7th Emperor**

On June 5th 2015 Doc Whovark became Rome's 1st Empress to ever
lead Rome. Doc joined Rome a time between late 2013 and early 2014 and served
ever faithfully ever since. When Arkaten left office in the summer of 15 he
could not think of anyone more worthy to take his current position than his
good friend and great Roman Doc.

Doc entered the position with many of the greatest Romans to
ever serve at her side, and a formidable army, ready for any command. Doc
managed to seal key alliances with several clans like The Spartan Kingdom and
The Ninth Legion of Rome, which helped Rome further progress. She also came to
neutral terms with the once hostile Asgarnian Empire, which brought great peace
to Rome.

Rome experienced peace and growth during these 4 months. Doc
eventually had to step down due to real life reasons.

### **Vespasion (5 months) 8th Emperor**

Vespasion joined Rome in 2014 and served as a Captain for a long
time under Vocho. After years of loyalty he was appointed Legate under Arkaten
then on 1/20/2016 he became the Emperor of Rome since Arkaten had to step down.

Vespasion's bold attitude gained him much support throughout
Rome and made him a powerful and important asset to the Legion.  Vespasion
focused primarily on expansion during his reign, and after five months he
handed the scepter to Baal Agares (now known as Baal Agares).

### **Baal Agares 9th Emperor (8 months)**

9th EmperorUpon his ascension to the throne in May of 2016, Baal Agares
decreed that he had two major goals.  The first was to focus more on
recruiting pay-to-play Romans and run more high level activities.  The
second was to deal with the viper that Rome had long been plagued by: Scuba.
Agares declared that Rome must now build her armies to their pinacle and use
the full fury of Rome to crush Scuba the pest. Ironically, Agares redirected
his vision and ended up creating an incredibly powerful alliance with Asgarnian
Empire and the Kingdom of Revival in a pact known as the Red-White Concordat.
This alliance became the most powerful force of the modern era. Agares was the
first Emperor to hold Roman recruiting events in Prifddinas and saw great
success in his dream to make Rome a significant P2P clan. After many months of
leading however, Agares became overwhelmed with real-life duties and was unable
to properly maintain the empire. His admins regressed to infighting which tore
the empire apart and left it in utter ruin. Seeing that all he had worked for
had been destroyed for what seemed like no reason, Agares stepped down from the
throne and walked away from Runescape for a time.
