First, pick an emperor and read up on him. Julius Caesar was a dictator, by the way. Augustus was the first of the official emperors. Still, ask your teacher if Julius Caesar is allowed. He led such an exciting life.

You might want to ask him

1) What circumstances led to you becoming Emperor of Rome?

2) What were your major policies? (ie. What did you do once you put on the diadem and were you successful?)

3) Did you conquer any territory? How did you do it? Did the about to be conquered put up much resistance?

4) Did you travel anywhere within your empire (to put down revolts, show yourself to the people, to inspect garrisons and public works projects?)

5) How did you get along with your wife and children? With the Praetorian Guard?

6) What were your policies toward minority religions? (Christians, Jews, Druids, etc.)

7) How did you feel about being worshiped as a god? Were you personally puffed by it, or did you think it was a good way to keep the empire together but rather silly?

8) Did you order any building projects?

Or, you could pick one of his achievements or failures and quiz him about that. For example, Augustus ordered unmarried men to be taxed because he wanted more families and thus more male children who would become soldiers. Or Nero probably called a 'state of emergency' over the Great Fire. You could pretend that the Emperor called a press conference, like the President does, and ask pointed questions about it.

Or he could make a "State of the Union" address and you could ask questions there.

do it on julias caeser. he was rome's most decorated emporer. just pretend u r taking an interview an ask questions that relate to wat he did in his life and wat effect he had on rome.
