[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 6390609, member: 101855"]Really? I don’t see him as being any worse than most of those who preceded him. Sure, he killed or had killed his predecessor and his family, but just about all of them did that. On the other hand, he brought a much needed period of stability to the empire and had the good sense to know that he couldn’t run the whole thing by himself. While he was in charge, his picks for co-rulers were pretty good. After he retired, things went down hill. And yes, he did know when to retire.[/QUOTE]
