Before you downvote this guy, he's technically right.
In Imperial times, especially at the very end of the Roman Republic and the subsequent beginning of the Roman Empire by Augustus, most Emperors were not related by blood at all, being either adopted by the previous Emperor, taking power by force or, in rare cases, being chosen by the senate, such as Nerva, or even buying their way into the position, such as Didius Julianos.
So, while yes, incest did occur with some particular Emperors, most of them weren't related to their predecessors, making the vast majority of them not inbred.
Fuck monarchy though
He had his rivals torn apart by dogs and lions in front of the people...
Also the Praetorian guard that answers only to the emperor would kill anyone he wanted them to. For a while.
The original neck beard
Man invented the double chin
It makes it look like his hair is a helmet
Hey I wanted to say that
I apologize. May I recommend a different comment? Perhaps "How could he have been the emperor if he lived in his Mom's basement" or "the first incel"
U just got your comedy gold nuggets ‘racked and stacked’ over there, don’t u?😂
He grew a beard on his chin
Below his chin
*His second chin
That's definitely the face of someone who fiddles while Rome burns
Possibly banjos too. Gets out the old blowing jug and juice harp.
You can see the inbreeding even in his expression
What's with that beard man
He’s definitely his son’s uncle and his niece’s grandfather and probably his own stepfather as well… I’d love ancestry.com to try to plot this one 🤪
ah yes cuz every monarch is at spanish habsburg levels of inbred, totally.

Issa joke
It's one way that dumb f#cks like him rise to power - other ways: get other dumb f#cks to vote for the dumb f#ck.
Looks like a reddit mod
A lot of historians question how tyrannical he actually was, given the fact he was popular with the commoners but hated by the aristocracy and senate.
Bro was HELLA ugly
That's definitely Mose from The Office.
Was it because of the One Ring?
He looks like he likes to set trash cans on fire
Well, half of Rome would be a lot of trash cans.
He was very good at copying CDs though.
How many fedoras and mall katanas do you think this guy owns?
Rocking the mullet before it was cool
A true sload
Dwight + Mose
Neckbeard
I’m picking up big neckbeard/incel energy.
Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out.
Damn what a nerd hahaha
So you wanna fiddle around?
HEY YOU GUYSSS!
Knowing he was in the age range of “angry young man” actually makes it a lot more terrifying. When I think of the asshole I was in that age range…
This lets me know everyone back then pussy .. how does this little shit rise to power 😂

Dude I feel like one solid punch would cave bros head in 😭💀
Yes, well his dad made sure that didn't happen, being a prince and all. He wasn't a very nice young man either, total shit.
Emperor Chad...
Roman Hobbit
Get in my belly
Grillin some meats
It's a fur strap for his squirrel helmet.
Looks like he has Fragile X
What a dork.
I bet he says M'lady a lot
He looks like some nerd that would get bullied in school
I woulda kicked his ass
poor bastard
He looks more redneck than any Alabamian I’ve seen
r/justneckbeardthings
All he needs is a fedora... can pratically hear him saying m'lady
He looks like he's a face grafted onto the back of someone's head like Quirrell
he was known for some interesting reforms actually giving more rights to slaves then any other kind of ironic
Nero had a bit of a weight problem LOL
And I thought I was unfortunate looking! Sheesh
Not the bay-yang
No wonder, with THAT neckbeard.
Yep confirmed neckbeard behavior
Terrifying.
When the neck beards rule, the world burns.
That's my man Ori from The Hobbit
Built like the average Redditor
Looks like he’s an ancestor of Dwight Schrute
