Ancient Rome 193AD S6046 Pertinax Silver Denarius Extra Fine (EF40) SCARCE
Publius Helvius Pertinax (126–193 CE) was a Roman senator and general who briefly reigned as emperor in 193 CE after the assassination of Commodus. Born the son of a freedman, he rose through military service and a distinguished political career to become a respected statesman. As emperor, Pertinax attempted to restore discipline to the Praetorian Guard and implement financial reforms to stabilize the empire, but his strict measures quickly angered the soldiers. After just 86 days on the throne, he was murdered by the Praetorians, whose corruption and power had grown unchecked. Despite his short reign, Pertinax was admired for his integrity and is remembered as a principled but ill-fated ruler.
