Are CEOs seeing them as Roman emperors?
Not an enviable position…

  @GustavinoBevilacqua and wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_…) says that Gordian II was “Killed outside Carthage in battle against an army loyal to Maximinus I” which I'd say counts as civil war
  but then he only reigned 22 days, so maybe he wasn't counted

  @GustavinoBevilacqua I'm surprised that there were no deaths in battle during a civil war

  @GustavinoBevilacqua and there is also Carinus “Probably died in battle against Diocletian, likely betrayed by his own soldiers” which may count as murder, to be fair.
  The previous one in the list is quite an outlier: Carus “Died in Persia, either of illness, assassination, or by being hit by lightning” so “cause of death: ALL OF THE ABOVE”? :D

  @GustavinoBevilacqua anyway, I'm glad that murder isn't an accepted succession method for CEOs, not because I care about them, but because the way it worked in the Roman Empire it tended to have quite a bit of collateral casualties among non-CEOs

  @simonwilliamson @GustavinoBevilacqua OTOH the Eastern empire introduced the option “died of natural causes (while a blind monk (spoiler: the blindness wasn't caused by old age))”

  @GustavinoBevilacqua If they included later Eastern Roman Emperors the rate would be higher - including one who was bumped off using a soap dish
