Go back and read some more history on the Roman empire at it shows it had one political leader being that of the Caesar, and they also had a main religious leader.
Roman empire held their religion in high regards and did not have a separation of church and state, and filled their political offices with those who were religious leaders with one being the main leader of the group. Just like we will have in the end times with the political leader (man of sin / 1st beast) and the religious leader (false prophet / 2nd beast) that will be under him.
