The emperor of the Roman Empire when Jesus was born was **Augustus**. Augustus ruled from 27 BC until AD 14 and was the first Roman emperor. His reign included the time when Jesus was born, around 4-6 BC.
In contrast, Nero and Vespasian came to power later; Nero ruled from AD 54 to 68, and Vespasian ruled from AD 69 to 79. Pontius Pilate was a governor (prefect) of Judea during the time of Jesus' ministry and trial, but he was not an emperor.
