<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2505682, member: 76194&quot;]Not a big Franco fan either, he did a lot of harm. But at least he kept Spain from turning Communist and named Juan Carlos as his successor, which was a very wise choice as the former king did the most to promote Spanish democracy and rule of law. Not that any of that justifies the bad stuff, but its still worth pointing out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, going back to Ancient times...yes, Spain was fortunate in producing some good Emperors, though that&#039;s not hard to do considering how low some Emperors set the bar (Caligula, Nero, Commodus, Elagabalus, etc). Anyone who half paid attention to the military and the senate, and didn&#039;t mass murder political opponents, could be considered a great Emperor after the reigns of some of those maniacs that came before and after them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
