List of Roman and Byzantine empresses facts for kids

The Roman empresses were the wives of the Roman emperors, who ruled the vast Roman Empire. These empresses had different roles, powers, and influences over time. Their importance often depended on the period, the politics of the day, and their own personalities, as well as their husband's.

Many empresses were highly respected and had a big say in how the empire was run. Some even acted as regents (temporary rulers) for their husbands or young sons. A few empresses, like Irene and Zoë Porphyrogenita, even ruled the empire by themselves, without a husband.

There wasn't one official title for an empress in Ancient Rome. Common Latin titles included augusta, which was the female version of the emperor's title augustus. Another title was caesaraea, the female form of caesar. In Greek, empresses might be called βᾰσῐ́λῐσσᾰ (basílissa), meaning queen, or αὐτοκράτειρα (autokráteira), meaning a sole ruler. In the third century, empresses also received special honorary titles like māter castrōrum ("mother of the castra" or army camps) and māter patriae ("mother of the fatherland"). Not all empresses used the title augusta, and sometimes other important imperial women, like mothers or sisters of emperors, also received this title.

Because there were sometimes more than one Roman emperor ruling at the same time, there could also be two or more empresses. For a long time, from 286 to 480 AD, the Roman Empire was split into the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. Each part had its own emperors and empresses. The Western Empire ended in the late 5th century. The Eastern Empire, often called the 'Byzantine Empire' by modern historians, lasted for nearly another thousand years until 1453. The last empress of the East was Maria of Trebizond. Later Eastern empresses also used the title δέσποινα (déspoina), which was another common title for powerful women.

Even though the empresses' power was not officially written down, it was generally understood that their coronation (crowning ceremony) gave them some imperial authority. Their main jobs often included organizing ceremonies at the imperial court and taking part in important imperial and religious events. While the emperor usually held the main government power, empresses could become very powerful if they were regents for young children or if their husbands were away. They could also become influential co-rulers, working alongside their husbands. Sometimes, emperors would marry the daughter of a previous emperor to make their own rule stronger. In these cases, empresses might use their family connections to gain even more influence. Famous empresses like Theodora and Euphrosyne even had their own courts. Empresses who ruled by themselves, like Irene and Zoë Porphyrogenita, sometimes used male titles like basileus (king) and autokrator (sole ruler) to show their power.
