Marcus Aurelius’ son, Commodus ( ), liked to pose as Heracles wearing a lion skin and carrying a club. He preferred taking part in chariot racing and gladiatorial matches to the serious business of government. Fittingly, after a reign of terror, he was murdered by a wrestler.

Pertinax (1/1/193-3/28/193) a capable emperor whose strict discipline and economizing measures quickly got him murdered by the Praetorian Guard only 87 days after ascending the throne

Didius Julianus (3/28-6/1/193) a Roman millionaire to whom the Praetorian Guard auctioned off the imperial throne. His authority barely extended outside of Italy and, abandoned even by the Praetorian guard that had put him on the throne, he was murdered after a reign of 66 days in favor of a military revolt led by Septimius Severus

Septimius Severus ( ) a capable emperor, but one whose annexation of the troubled lands in Mesopotamia and increasing militarization of the Empire through doubling the troops’ pay would help lead to the anarchy of the 3rd century. Although a capable ruler who brought peace to the empire, his reputation was somewhat tarnished by the bloody methods he used to gain and maintain control of the throne. His dying words to his sons were supposedly “Enrich the troops. Nothing else matters.”
