constantine 3 led a revolt in 407AD that captured gaul and spain from brition, he not a legitimate emperor as the question ask for. he did not rule from rome ( or ravanna as some did ) or constantople. honorius was western emperor and theodsious 2 eastern emperor. i quess the question is does being made an agustusi-or jr. emperor count as being emperor? with all the augustus's and caesars under various emperors we could come up with 10 correct answers or 10 wrong answers based on the critieria?
Scrub Constantine III then 
The empire was officially split east/west between two, and I would say that from a political stance they count as legitimate. I presume the western one was responsible for Britannia but I could not find if he ever actually visited the island.
Because Britannia was frequently cut-off from Rome, it was the source of several of it's own emperors not recognised by Rome - making the question very hard to answer.
I like the question!
If none have yet to give the answer you want, which I presume is for a single undesputed Emperor, I shall keep looking...

Porphyrogenitos
Γένοιος Όιος έσαι μαθών
Furius ius correct with Constans, one of the three ruling sons of Constantine the Great (hence legitmate).
He visited in 343 AD. He was murdered the following year after being captured by Magnentius.
Your question Furius.

Your question Furius.
Porphyrogenitos
Γένοιος Όιος έσαι μαθών
Furius hasn't replied in a while so I'll continue this with a freh question, and a fairly easy one, to get things rolling again.
Question: What was Justinian's real name (ie. before he changed it)?

Porphyrogenitos
Γένοιος Όιος έσαι μαθών
Sorry, but that is not the answer. That was the name he adopted to honor his uncle Justin (minus the Anicius). To help you in the right direction I am asking about the name he had at birth (hence 'real name').
Porphyrogenitos
Γένοιος Όιος έσαι μαθών
I'll post the answer seeing as no one has replied in a while. Justinian's original name was Petrus Sabbatius. he changed it to honour his uncle Justin.
The floor is open for a new question posted by anyone interested.

How and where dd the first ruler of all of Egypt die (I mean Menes)?
Mongoloid Cow
Great Khan
Was he was eaten by a crocodile near Memphis?
Furius
Prince
Yup, Menes was (reputedly) attacked and killed in the Fayum Deppression by crocodiles and wild dogs.
Your turn.
Your turn.

I don't mean to to infringe on Furius' right as a question-asker, but wasn't Menes dragged into the Nile by a Hippopotamus?
I know the story is supposevly a metaphor, but I've never heard the crocodile and wild dog story.

SeleucusNicator, there were three versions (which is why I guessed) , the crocodile, the hippopotamus and a third which I can't remember.
Give us a minute to think up one.

I've got one, although the wording might not be the best.
The national hat of which country was later adopted by freed Roman slaves and thus became a symbol of freedom during the pre-Migration Age era?

And I'm still curious as to where you dug up the crocodile story. I'm not challenging you, I just sense another source of information to add to my internal database.
