This was a tough one for me. I'm torn between two emperors as we speak and even as I re-read your answers, it's not getting any easier to make a final decision. I apologize in advance for the absurd length of this comment...
On the one hand, you remind me very much of Tiberius, particularly for your answers pertaining to people and how they're generally untrustworthy and troublesome. That, to me, is classic Tiberius. You're also more reserved and I'm picking up on a witty air to your whole application. In Tacitus' Annales, even though he didn't talk as much as other people, Tiberius often had rather bitingly sarcastic and memorable lines when he did speak. You strike me as someone who can call bullshit from miles away and that also reminds me of him.
However, I also am getting some serious Commodus vibes from you. His are a little more difficult to put into words at the moment, but he's definitely there. You say you're cold, manipulative, changeable and clever, a lover of the arts and unconventional. And really, Tradition is an

I also see Tiberius, but I think bathshua did an excellent job of explaining her point and admittedly, if she had not mentioned it, it probably would have not crossed my mind. Commodus is a very good fit for you, particularly when I read your adjectives and the "WAR" section.
I see Tiberius. I was swayed by the military decisions, and the fact you said that you would feel unsure about being supreme commander. It is known that Tiberius used miliatry when he had to, but he preferred diplomacy and did not like involving himself in military squabbles of other tyrants.
COMMODUS. Very unconventional, fanciful, impulsive, amusing, clever, most your adjectives and choices do seem to lean more towards Commodus though I was also heavily battling it out between him and Tiberius.
