When and how would you die as the Roman Emperor?
Source:Julius Caesar in the TV series "Rome"
While watching a historical series like 2005 or movies about different emperors, many in the audience probably imagined how they would act in place of the ancient rulers. However, knowing how often emperors were killed by their loved ones, very few people actually want to be in their place. The fact that most of them do not die a natural death, and was killed in the fighting and more often were . As it turned out, among the deaths of the rulers of Ancient Rome is the pattern that the recently revealed engineer aerospace systems named Joseph Saleh. But what can be shared between the causes of death quite different emperors and why search patterns engaged an engineer, not historians?
The Results of the study were published in the publication . In a small article was on how to engineer Joseph Saleh of the U.S. state of Georgia has carefully studied the biographies of 69 emperors, who ruled Rome between 31 year 395 ad. As it turned out, most of the rulers died not from old age, and had been slain, fatally wounded in battle or committed suicide. It turns out that every Emperor has always risked his life, but in some periods of his reign, they could be relatively calm.
How often did the assassination of the rulers?
According to the observations of Joseph Saleh, the Roman emperors were greatly risked their lives in the first year of his reign. In the opinion of the engineer, due to the inexperience of the new rulers, who often made mistakes and could not cope with their responsibilities. They often could not meet the needs of its people and in the end someone was murdered.
Julius Caesar died after receiving 23 wounds.
But, if the Governor has successfully kept its place in the first year, in the next seven years he was able to be relatively calm about his life. Probably, they have proven their ability , but to a 12 year rukovoditelja the risk of violent death is again increased. This time they could not cope with the responsibilities, not because of lack of experience, but because of fatigue, old age and disease. Or someone from close simply wanted to win their place and the murder was the easiest way to achieve this goal.
But why such an interesting pattern in the deaths of the Roman emperors found not historians, and the American engineer? The fact that Joseph Saleh once drew attention that the deaths of the Roman emperors in most cases are treated as individual events and one had not previously engaged in the search for regularities between them. He had a feeling that between the time of the reign of emperors and the length of service parts of mechanical devices have something in common.
It Turned out that indeed, the ancient rulers sometimes supposedly "wore out" like parts of complex mechanisms. The engineer noticed that, as emperors, mechanical components with high probability it can "fail" in the first year of operation due to the inability to perform their functions. However, in subsequent years the risk of breakage is reduced, because no marriage in detail can not be detected. Further mechanical components are starting to break and the reason for this is wear and rust.
In General, the engineer turned to reveal a rather interesting pattern between the deaths of the Roman emperors and wear of mechanical parts. Indeed, if not for him, this is hardly engaged historians. Besides, he's one of the first to compare the causes of deaths of the rulers of Rome and found that they have a lot in common. So, now we know that if one of us managed to visit the place of ancient emperors, in the first year of the Board would need to be constantly on the alert and strictly perform their duties, not to cause discontent of citizens.
