Calling someone the “
greatest” ruler is subjective.
A better historical question is: What impact did the ruler have?

Historians can examine:
Territory and empire
Government and administration
Military campaigns
Legal reforms
Religious policies
Cultural developments
Long-term influence
Using these factors creates a more useful way to compare major figures from different periods.
