This is a list of the rulers of Rome.

Kings of Rome

Rome was founded as a kingdom of the Latins. These are the traditional dates for the reigns of the seven kings of Rome; the actual dates are uncertain.

Consuls of the ancient Roman Republic

In 510 BC, the last king of Rome was overthrown after the rape and suicide of Lucretia. The new government established the office of consul, to be held by two men elected annually, as the supreme executive power. While men could be and were elected repeatedly, there was rapid turnover in the office of consul; over five hundred men held the post during the ancient Republic.

Emperors of Rome

In 31 BC, Octavian took control of the Roman state after his victory at the Battle of Actium. While consuls continued to be elected, imperator or emperor now became a higher-ranking position.

As the emperors continued (in this period) to be involved with the day-to-day operations of the city, they are listed as rulers of the city as well. Only emperors who were actually in control of the city are listed; see List of Roman Emperors for a list of all those who claimed the imperial dignity and controlled significant territory.
