The rulers of the Latin Empire, although they seem to have called themselves Emperors of Constantinople ("imperator Constantinopolitanus") or Emperors of Romania ("imperator Romaniae", Romania being a Byzantine term meaning the "land of the Romans") in correspondence with the Papacy, used the same imperial titles within their own empire as their direct Byzantine predecessors, with the titles of the Latin Emperors ("Dei gratia fidelissimus in Christo imperator a Deo coronatus Romanorum moderator et semper augustus") being near identical to the Latin version of the title of Byzantine emperor Alexios IV ("fidelis in Christo imperator a Deo coronatus Romanorum moderator et semper augustus").
