Romulus is the eldest of ten children and was born in 1985. He received his education in the Aftokratorikó Panepistímio where he was educated as his father's firstborn. Though he was unable to finish his education before his coronation, he went back soon after assuming the title of Autokrator and completed a magister gradius in economics, where he graduated fifth in his class of fifty.

Romulus has been known as a sensible monarch though he has a tendency to use brash words in the media. He has left the vast majority of domestic policy making in the hands of the Grand Synod of Aegion, only stepping when necessary. His first trial by fire was a series of border skirmishes with XXX. He is known as an advocate for the Legion, making significant benefits and pay raises available for the numerous reservists.

Early Life and Education
Romulus was born January 5, 1985 during an unseasonably wet year at the Argentum Praedium in the Glass Hall. He spent the first six weeks of his life with his mother before she turned him over to the care of a governess at the Argentum Praedium, where he spent the first two years of his life. He was accepted into the succession via the Imperium Sollemne, the ancient ritual that all young heirs must go through. Following his birth, the Grand Feast of New Life was held across the empire for five days in a national celebration. His gender had been kept a secret until his birth in accordance with ancient tradition for firstborn children. His father officially announced his name on live television across the nation as Romulus, "for he will receive the guidance of the great emperors of old". Upon his naming, his father publicly proclaimed him as the accepted and rightful heir to the Sapphire Throne of the Hellenes. His shares his name with great emperors such as Romulus V the Reformer and Romulus III the Lance, both revered monarchs.
Reign
Romulus began to reign at 15 years of age but left many of his initial duties of managing court to Megas Doux Hadrian Anacomas, who was appointed as the Magistros under the rule of Marcus II. He did little in his initial years besides marry his wife and issue an official edict to grant her full citizenship. He approved a series of military reforms aimed at increasing pay for reservists and increasing pay for those serving in difficult positions.
By age 22, he had began to take on the reigns of government. His first edict was to honor his wife and authorize funds for repairs of the Atherios Cathedral located in Neopolis. Additional funding was issued to forces patrolling and securing the border in light of the recent instability in XXX. This further strengthened the border though some decried the increase in the defense budget that such reforms brought.
With his economics degree, Romulus began to significantly modify the tax code. Sales tax was waived on certain key necessities like water and specific food categories. Though income tax and sales taxes were slightly raised, all tax rates were nationally standardized and collection systems were streamlined with multiple 21st century methods to pay taxes. It is estimated that the tax system and tax collection efficiency increased by 14% after the reforms were implemented. Local rulers and councils were also given more freedom to make individual decisions that didn't necessarily need to be approved by provincial governors.
Personal life
As Despotēs, Romulus was to be future emperor and his life was always under great public scrutiny. As a boy attending an all boys boarding school, he had little in the way of women throughout his primary and secondary years. His years prior to his rule were somewhat wild, When he was 13, he was discovered running through the streets of the Old City naked. When caught by a local Praesdii, he was taken before his father who scolded him harshly. This was one of the many "dares" his school friends would give him that he would carry out. The "daredevil prince" was the subject of several tabloid articles in which his various dares were listed.
When he was 14, he had a brief stint with a common girl, Penelope Ventros. Though his relationship was made public, it was not discussed in great depth due to protection laws for minors. He took the throne at 16, only one year after his majority. In an interview with the Nekorian tabloid Fatehe stated that he wished his father could have lived longer so he could have enjoyed more of his youth but stated he had no regrets about inheriting the throne.
