In the poetic sense, meaning the last Roman of great stature, Constantine XI
In the poetic sense, meaning the last great Roman of the ancient period, Heraclius
If you mean in the literal sense, meaning the last person in the Roman Empire to identify as Roman, probably some random Morean
If you mean in the literal sense, meaning the last people to collectively identify as Romans at all, a lot of elderly Greeks still do
It should be noted for the purposes of that last one that nobody in the Holy Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, or the Russian Empire actually claimed to be Romans

The Greeks on lesbos identified as Romoi, and there are probably quite a few others spread around Greece who do as well.
It is sad to think that at this point it is probably mostly gone.

Justinian. He was the last Latin-speaking Eastern Roman Emperor and the one who dreamed of restoring both halves of the Roman Empire back together again.
Other notables would be Count Boniface, Stilcho, Aetius, and Belisarius.

Fuck Justinian
Stilicho, Aetius, Majorian and maybe Belisarius are the only ones deserving of that title.

Julius Caesar

Depends where you're talking about. In Gallia it would be Aetius, in Britain Arthur / Aurelian, in Rome Stillicho, etc etc.

The people who controlled the Capital OF THE Last Roman Empire (Constantinple)
The Romans today are Ottomans. No other EMpire has as much legitimacy after Rome, Byzantium.

Lucius Tarquinius Superbus.
He was making Rome great again until his shit son threw it all away in a drunken rapefest.
May he rex in peace.

>Fuck Justinian
>literally the last native Latin-speaking Roman who wanted to reunite and restore the Roman Empire at its peak (not counting Trajan's nonsense inflation of its size in Mesopotamia)
>was a very aggressive and ambitious builder and architect who did to Constantinople and other cities and towns in the Eastern Roman Empire what Augustus/Octavian did before him in Rome
>even fixed up Ravenna too and restored the Church of Apostles; was energetic even in keeping the empire's agricultural and economic strength stable and viable like doing disaster management and building more granaries and storehouses
>Justinian was also extremely aggressive at stamping out corruption at local and higher levels within the Empire and increasing its material output like adding silk and finding new trade routes
>Made fortifications all over the Empire's boundaries such to further strength the Byzantine's borders
>High culture experienced a major renaissance in ERE/Byzantine Empire under Justinian I with a shit ton of poets, writers, artists, and historians benefiting from Justinian and his wife as their patrons
>"Fuck Justinian"
Fuck you.
