What did the title “emperor” mean in ancient Rome?
<p>Ancient Roman military commanders were awarded this title to highlight their achievements, such as several consecutive victories or winning a major battle. Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus is considered the first to be recognized as an emperor in this context, making the word “emperor” synonymous with “triumph” or “victory,” diverging from its original meaning. At this time, the title of emperor conferred no privileges but simply signified a particularly successful military leader.</p>
