Abstract
According to various Greek and Latin texts, several Roman emperors died of “apoplexy”. This paper presents a systematic collection and evaluation of these sources. The contents of the texts are compared with contemporary knowledge as well as present-day perspectives. In retrospect, few of the “royal cases” can be classified as cerebrovascular disorders.
