Content wanted! Roman Kings, Dictators, Emperors

Great idea. I made a list of French Kings and learned a lot doing it.

Its easy enough upload a list if you have an hour or so to spare making a spreadsheet(names in one column, dates in another), then a bit of extra info could be put in the mem box

Would also be intersted if this takes off.

would love this, have listened to a few podcasts about the history of ancient Rome and always mess up the names, need some mnemonics for them.

I'l put up the basic course - Emperors and dates (at least up to about 200AD at first. Then I guess we can put mems and pictures for our favourites and build it up.Give me a day ot two

Hi tonyyy, it would be great for me to have the pronunciation of these,I never know how to say them in English.

I havent tried doing any audio yet, but will have a go later in July when I am back from holiday - or maybe someone else would like to .

After Alexander there are so many rulers(due to civil wars etc)that I dont think I would have the energy to type them all I might do a continuation list with 'best-of' the later emperors- the good bad and the ugly

Hi, the last days i created an extended version of tonyyy's course. Sorry for "stealing" your topics, @tonyyy, but my course more than triples the amount of content (includes kings, important consuls/dictators and almost the entire generation of emperors between 286-395) and adding pictures to everything took a lot of time (apart from that, your course has pictures now as well!)

I would be really interested in feedback (e.g. who else needs to be included who has at enough significance that he should be known by interested amateurs?)

I will not include audio since i am not English native. Audio recording is supposed to be much more convenient in the future, so i would look out for natives later. I included only a handful of extra info mems, maybe more later, but everybody could add something, especially about the lesser known guys. I will not add mems for remembering myself since i spend so much research when creating the course that i don't need them anymore (i hope).

This is great, so many of them. I'll probably end up using some kind of method of loci to remember them in order. Great work.

Great - I am pleased you took over the baton. Looks really good too.

Any native Latin speakers around ;-)
