The Year of Five Emperors: Part 1: Pertinax

by Robert N Eckert

The vicious Emperor Commodus is dead, after one cruelty too many. How should a successor be chosen?

By election? The Senate chooses the capable bureaucrat Pertinax.

By purchase? The Praetorians like Didius Julianus, or at least his money.

By inheritance? Clodius Albinus is from an ancient family with imperial ties.

By force? A major branch of the army backs the blunt Septimius Severus.

By acclamation? The common people adore the humble Pescennius Niger.

Rival gods, too, contend for the people’s loyalties. In a Rome that is tearing itself apart, the household of Tullius Secundus, a Senator of the old school, struggle to find happiness and love.
