Didus Julianus came to power following the murder of Pertinax in March 193, allegedly buying the imperial rank after it was auctioned by the praetorians. Disquiet about the transition of power caused three generals to rise in revolt, and Didius Julianus was murdered in his palace just over two months after taking power. |
