A Stemma of the Roman Emperors

  • Names in square brackets represent contentious names or people, eg [Maecius Marullus]
  • Names in purple are Senior Augustusi, ie not Augusti in the reigns of their father and never reigned by themselves, like Philip II.
  • Dotted lines show either adoptions or contentious lineage.
  • A red arrow () represents a link to another family. Move the mouse over that link and a tooltip will appear showing the Linked Family.
  • ? denotes a person, usually, parent, whose name is unknown.
