Personal Opinion:

Unfortunately I am the rare minority that wasn't a fan of SPQR, the authors book about Rome from the time of myth to 200s of modern era? I am happy to report that in the case of EMPEROR of Rome, I am definitely a big fan. It's organized, has a character list and information is easy to find. Maybe because I am more familiar with Roman Empire, I was able to enjoy this book a lot more than the previous one. The author covers a lot about Roman emperors, from how they were seen by their subjects to their travels and even to their deaths, often using historical evidence and admitting when none exists. There is high intimacy with this  subject matter, and the reader becomes more and more eager to see what else the author will reveal about the emperor's and their families. While I don't think it's a good starting point when it comes to Roman Empire history, but it a good addition to other texts.
