Looks like Eudokia to me. The man is Romanos. They are listed as King of the Romans and Queen of the Romans. The Greeks never had the hangup with kingship that the citizens of Roma did and so called the Emperor with the same word they would use for any King, rather than using various euphemisms that the Latin speakers did. EDIT: And if you're curious CE, the letters on either side of Christ's head are Iota Sigma and Chi Sigma. The first and last letters of Jesus and Christ when speeled in Greek. |

Due to certain events in the history of Roma and the rest of Latium, the people of Rome were generally leary of the word "Rex" (king). They were proud of their republic and were proud of having thrown off their Kings. Thus, as the emperor took root, they began using other words to refer to their ruler, though they generally did not call him rex. Imperator, Princeps, Caesar, Augustus all have their own origins, but would be associated with the Emperor. I am not sure about Augustus but the other three words that I mentioned all have derivitives in various language referring to rulership or monarchy, different from their original meanings. In the rest of the Empire (or Romania, as it would later be referred), the various people generally did not have a problem calling their ruler a king. Thus, the Greeks as I mentioned. Also, after the schism that followed the Council of Chalcedon, the Syraic speakers referred to the Chalcedonians as "Melkites" or "King's men" because they followed the religion of the Emperor of the Romans in Constantinople. As Arabic became popular, Melkite was generally replaced with "Rum" (Roman), but the term Melkite remains in use for the Catholic Church that seperated from the Eastern Orthodox (Chalcedonian) Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East. |

I'm still trying to find a suitable picture for Emperor Krildahd Voramix. I can't seem to find anything that looks like him. If you can help, please notify me... following I give a description of what to keep in mind whenever the madman rears his head. Krildahd is an aging man somewhere well past his prime. He has a long graying beard, red and black royal robes, and an air about him that proclaims: "I'm evil and stark raving mad." |

The image of Ra'is Hamad is too good to be shown to mere mortals. He is the best looking, most dashing ruler in the world. The rest of our government is also rather hot. However... This is an old shot of our cabinet. This was taken several days ago while on holiday. Betty Crocker, Minister of Information |

OK, so I know four posts may be excessive but I just had another look through everyone's messages and I must say that you are all an incredibly funny group of people. In honour of everyone's good humour, we would like to honour you with a picture of His Royal Highness Prince Abdulkarim Abdul Jaffar bint Ahmed Khalifa al-Thani. This is the first time our Ministry has been allowed to show a picture of His Highness. It is a great honour. |
