1. Marcus Aurelius: Competent Emperor and a top flight philosopher.

2. Claudius: Considered a buffoon by the Roman elite, but was actually an astute politician. Reminds me of a
current world leader in some respects........

3. Vespasian: Restored stability to Rome after the anarchy of the "Year of three Emperors".

One thing you will notice when you study the Roman Emperors, damned few of them died of old age.
