<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 5243832, member: 19463&quot;]Theodosius was the last Roman emperor at least of the unified empire East and West.&nbsp; He split it between his two sons and the West fell to barbarians about a thousand years before the end of the Byzantines.&nbsp; The statement assumes that later rulers were in charge of a section but not the whole empire.&nbsp; This opinion even made it into coin books when Cohen listed coins of the West but omitted those of the East.&nbsp; Somewhere, you will find a reference to Constantine as the first Byzantine emperor.&nbsp; Artificial labels attached to ideas have to be understood but not worshiped.&nbsp; Who was the last Roman emperor?&nbsp; I suspect there is some guy somewhere alive today who thinks he is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
