“Theoderic personally slaughtered Odoacer at a dinner party held in the Italian capital of Ravenna to celebrate the agreement”
Honestly, from what I’ve read so far, this is one of the more pleasant ways close to like 97% of the emperors end up dying. Wanting to be emperor seems to have been a literal death wish.

Several things are really striking about the early Roman Empire to me.
When it did transition from a republic to a dictatorship, it kept a lot of the facade of a republic like voting, and a senate. It also was a remarkably diverse empire that at least early on encouraged immigration and incentivized people in its outposts to become Roman citizens, recognizing the advantages of doing so.
