Remarks
The earliest Roman consuls (before 450 BC) are viewed more as the stuff of legends. According to this, historical figures can also be found in the consuls list. It was not until the following 4th century that records of the occupation of the consulate were considered trustworthy.
It is not known exactly which politicians ruled Syracuse during the democratic phase.
Of the Chinese states of the spring and autumn annals , only the larger principalities are listed.
For the period 500-400 BC there are further details about rulers that are not listed here for various reasons. These include mythical ancestral kings, but also rulers, who cannot be precisely fixed in time. See for example the lists of the kings of Ireland , Nubia , Armenia , Byblos , Sparta , the Scythians , Vietnam , Korea and Japan .
Deputies and viceroys are only listed here if the territory they administer formed an independent state before or afterwards. This applies to Pontos , for example .
General
In the timeline, a gap of one year symbolizes that the transition between two rulers will be assumed around this time. If the transition period can be determined more precisely, this is indicated by a thinner line. Larger gaps between two names do not necessarily mean that there was no ruler; but indicate an uncertainty. If no colored bars are displayed, the relevant rulers cannot be dated more precisely according to the latest research. The representation does not claim to be complete.
General note: The years in this list cannot be precisely determined in some cases. Due to new archaeological findings, the state of research and current doctrine on dating can occasionally change abruptly. If more recent findings are incorporated, the source / place of discovery must be indicated and checked for simultaneity of rulers (this should be guaranteed according to archaeological evidence). The dating according to Beckerath (1994) is used for the information on Egyptian kings.
