Just about all the Roman emperors had luxurious villas or palaces away from Rome. In the summer months Rome was hot and subject to outbreaks of plague so the emperors and all the wealthy got away if they could. By far the most beautiful and famous of these luxury estates was/is Hadrian's villa.

In Rome itself, they've uncovered parts of Augustus palace and some of the additions other emperors made. But by far the most beautiful and complex is Hadrian's Villa at Tivoil. This is not in Rome itself, but not too far away.
As emperor, Titus was much beloved by the Roman people, but despite this, his reign was unimportant as far as external events were concerned. He only reigned two years. Most of his status was gained by his conquering of Jerusalem and the loot he brought to Rome. He was the emperor who opened the Colosseum, and during his reign the city of Pompeii was buried in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.As emperor, Titus was much beloved by the Roman people, but despite this, his reign was unimportant as far as external events were concerned.

The Roman Empire was a gigantic Ponzi scheme; that is, the Roman armies were sent to conquer and occupy additional territories from which they collected taxes and other resources which were sent back to Rome for the enrichment of the Roman citizens. When the Roman conquests stretched too far from Rome and the entire territory could no longer be defended, Rome began to crumble.
He more than likely did order a census. In republican Rome a census was taken every five years, or at least it was supposed to be taken. Augustus continued the traditions of the republic as far as possible. If you are referring to the census mentioned in the New Testament, that was not ordered by Augustus himself, but by the governor of Syria, who had imperium, on behalf of the Jewish priests. An official with imperium acted in the name of the emperor--his orders were the same as being issued by the emperor himself.

Far from being the enemy of Rome, Alaric worked as king-maker, installing Priscus Attalus as emperor, and keeping him there despite policy disagreements. It didn't work. Ultimately, Rome's refusals to accommodate a barbarian led Alaric to sack Rome on August 24, A.D. 410.
Emperor Constantine the Great moved the capital of the Byzantine/Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople around 330 AD. He felt that Rome was an unsatisfactory capital. Rome was too far from the frontiers. Constantinople provided easy trade and military access to the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Danube River, Dnieper River, and the land route to Turkestan and India.
Rome fell because of a to big of an army to sustain, pushing its boundaries to far which let to nomadic invisions, having military leaders that had more power than the emperor (barrack leaders), and barrack emperors constantly getting assassinated which lead to chaos in the streets. The final blow was the germaniac peoples killing the emperor and sacking Rome

This is a matter of personal opinion. Many people would say Julius Caesar, but he was never an emperor. (He might qualify for the most famous Roman, though) As far as the genuine emperors go, some would say Augustus, some Hadrian and others Tiberius or Constantine.
The colosseum is in Rome. It is still there and you can visit it. Today it is in the center of a 3 lane traffic circle. The site it is built on once was a lake for Nero's palace. Parts of the palace today is also open for tours. It was uncovered several years ago. Not far from the colosseum is also a gladiator training area that has been opened for visitors.

Emperor Constantine the Great moved the capital of the Byzantine/Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople around 330 AD. He felt that Rome was an unsatisfactory capital. Rome was too far from the frontiers. Rome could no longer serve as the center of defense for the Byzantine Empire's widely spread frontiers. Constantinople provided easy trade and military access to the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Danube River, Dnieper River, and the land route to Turkestan and India.
