for example, add triples like 

<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Gordian_III> dcterms:creator <http://papyri.info/ddbdp/p.tebt;2;285/original>

you could do this sort of thing for monuments they commission, monuments dedicated to them, etc.

You can pull the monuments and battles out of dbpedia for quite a few of them eg http://dbpedia.org/page/Augustus has so much rich data. I've tried to do this on my pages, but I can't get my SPARQL optionals to work properly across the gamut of emperors eg:
