Maximinius Thrax - The Emperor of Rome

Maximinius thrax was not the most popular emperor of all time. The general population hated him for his oppressive tax policies, and the elites hated him for constantly picking off their friends and colleagues. When they weren't being bullied and threatened by imperial tax collectors, they were forced to endure the summary judgments of a court system that had been thoroughly corrupted. All that this growing powder keg needed was a spark and the whole thing would blow up in maximinius face.
