Does late have a context here other than dead (like referring to the empire)?

The Late Roman Empire is usually used to refer to the Roman Empire from around ~300 AD to 476 AD - the dying days of the Empire, when everything was falling apart.

Yeah in this context its (late Roman) emperor, as in an emperor of the later time of Rome.
