	~~[[Publius Helvius Pertinax]] (126 – 193 CE) reigned in 193 CE.~~

	~~====Overview====~~

	[[Pertinax]], the urban prefect of Rome, succeeded to the Imperial throne after the murder of [[Commodus]] in 193 CE. He was murdered a few months afterwards by a member of the [[Praetorian Guard]]. He was succeeded by [[Didius Julianus]].

	~~====Early Career====~~

	[[Pertinax]] was born in Alba. His father, Helvius Successus, was a freeman. Although [[Pertinax]] began as a [[grammaticus]], he found the right patronage to enter the army. He served in the [[Parthian War]], where he distinguished himself. Thus afterwards he could begin his [[cursus honorum]]. As an equestrian, he served as a military tribune of the [[Legio VI Victrix]] in [[Britain]] and on the Danubian Frontier. He was then appointed procurator in [[Dacia]]. He served under [[Claudius Pompeianus]], he was enrolled in the Senatorial order and in 175 CE, and he was appointed consul suffectus together with [[Didius Julianus]]. Till 185 CE, [[Pertinax]] served as governor of the provinces of [[Upper Moesia]] and [[Lower Moesia]], [[Dacia]], [[Syria]] and [[Britannia]], where he quelled a mutiny in 187 CE. However, because of the harsh treatment of the mutineers, he was forced to resign. In Rome, [[Pertinax]] had also to face the hostility of [[Perennis]], the favorite of [[Commodus]]. From 188 till 189 CE, [[Pertinax]] served as proconsul of [[Africa]]. He was then appointed urban prefect of Rome, and once more in 192 CE, he served as consul ordinarius together with [[Commodus]].

	~~====Imperial Succession====~~

	After the assassination of [[Commodus]], [[Pertinax]] was proclaimed Emperor by the [[Praetorian Guard]], soon afterwards at the beginning of 193 CE. He became soon unpopular with the [[Praetorian Guard]], as he refused them a donative at his accession, although afterwards to meet their expectations, he had to sell off various belonging of the previous emperor. A conspiracy, which purpose was to replace [[Pertinax]] with the consul [[Quintus Sosius Falco]], failed. However soon afterwards, he was murdered by various soldiers of the [[Praetorian Guards]], who complained that they did not receive their donatives in full. After his murder, the imperial title was auctioned by the [[Praetorian Guard]] in a bid, which the Senator [[Didius Julianus]] won. Later, once he conquered Rome, [[Septimius Severus]] had the murders of [[Pertinax]] punished, had the Senate deify him, and gave him a state funeral. The very short reign of [[Pertinax]] is also remembered as he tried to reform the [[alimenta]].
