The best leaders are little blokes, I suppose because they grow up desperate to be as good as big blokes.
They tend to be evil though.

Augustus beats the other 3 hands down. Whupped the pirates, sorted out the constitution, generally put the town on the map and even donated his garden to the people, thereby inventing the National Trust. A diamond feller all round.
Tiberius was happy to be told what to do by Sejanus et al and bogged off to Capri first chance he got. Nero was so self-obsessed he makes Kim Jong Il look positively modest. At least Caligula had some oomph about him and got the army on a strong footing: but he was still a spoiled brat and you wouldn't want him at your birthday party. And if any of them don't like that, they can sue me.

How would YOU rate him
Tiberious was a reasonable name for a Roman and a star ship captain, but how do you rate Tiberius as a Roman empora?
Do you think Augustus or Nero did a better job ? is Caligula falsly maligned ?
Have your say ..............
