en-wikipedia-org-7683		Year of the Five Emperors - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	1949	198	65	The Year of the Five Emperors was 193 AD, in which five men claimed the title of Roman emperor: Pertinax, Didius Julianus, Pescennius Niger, Clodius Albinus, and Septimius Severus. Once Commodus was assassinated, Pertinax was named emperor, but immediately aroused opposition in the Praetorian Guard when he attempted to initiate reforms. Didius Julianus, who purchased the title from the Praetorian Guard, succeeded Pertinax, but was ousted by Septimius Severus and executed on June 1. This move allowed him to concentrate on waging the war against Niger.[1] Most historians count Severus and Albinus as two emperors, though they ruled simultaneously. Twelve days after Pertinax's murder, Severus declared himself emperor in place of Julianus. Twelve days after the March 28 assassination, Severus made himself ruler with the Senate's backing.[1] He had Didius Julianus executed and made enemies of the other powerful nobles that had a possibility of becoming emperor, i.e. Niger and Albinus.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7683.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7683.txt
