Antje Bosselmann-Ruickbie helped me determine that the Constantine referenced in Tursisas' song "The Great Escape" is in fact Constantine IX Monomachus. So I updated the chart, & decided to add the two songs about the empress Irene, since she ruled in her own right.

I’m currently converting my presentation on late antique Roman emperors in heavy metal that I delivered in Trier earlier this year into a chapter for a conference anthology.
As part of that, I’ve updated my tally of metal songs that mention emperors by name in their lyrics and/or titles.

The Roman Emperor Constantius II figures this out for the most part, and committed the “massacre of the princes” after his father Constantine I died. The irony is he ended up being succeeded by one of those cousins.
