What was a cause of unrest in the roman e mpire in Ad 200?

There was not any unrest in the year 200 AD. There were civil wars which followed the murder of the emperor Commodus at the end of 192 and lasted from 193 to 197. Historians call this the Year of the Five Emperor, even though this situation lasted for four years, because five men were part of a struggle over the imperial title. At the beginning of 193 the prefect of the city of Rome, Pertinax, was proclaimed emperor. However, he was murdered three months later by the Praetorian (Imperial) Guard. The title of emperor was auctioned by the army and Didius Julianus won it. Septimius Severus the commander of the armies of Pannonia, marched on Rome, deposed Didius Julianus and executed him, dismissed the Praetorian Guard and executed the soldiers who had killed Pertinax. Septimius Severus was challenged by Pescennius Niger the governor of Syria. Severus defeated him at the Battle of Cyzicus and the Battle of Battle of Nicaea in 193 and won the civil war at the Battle of Issus in 194. All these locations were in present day Turkey. Severus then besieged the city of Byzantium, which held out until 196, because it was loyal to Pescennius Niger. Clodius Albinus, the governor of Britain, who had allied with Septimius Severus who made him junior emperor and put him in charge of the much of the western part of the Roman Empire while he was fighting in the east, realised that Severus wanted to become sole ruler. A confrontation between these two men started. In 196 he proclaimed himself emperor with the support of the legions in Britain. He went to Gaul where he won a battle and gained the support of the troops in Gaul. However, he did not get the support of the troops in Germania. Septimius Severus defeated him at the Battle of Lugdunum (Lyons) in 197. He retained his position as emperor and went on to establish the Severan dynasty. Severus was a strong emperor with solid support by the army. In 198 he embarked on a war with the mighty Persian Empire

What type of change did Septimius make in the structure of the roman government?

Septimius Severus used sections of the military which were loyal to him to enforce his autocratic control over Rome. He disbanded the Praetorian (Imperial) Guard and reconstituted it with soldiers loyal to him. He created three new legions and stationed one of them (drawn from loyal soldiers from the River Danube area) at Albanum (Albano Laziale) near Rome to control the city of Rome. This eliminated Italian military influence in Italy. For his administration he relied on men drawn from Syria (the home of his wife Julia Domna) and from his native Africa (western Libya and Tunisia). He widened the powers of military officers giving them civilian which had been within the remit of the senate. He increased the pay of soldiers and offcers. Septimius Severus had the supporters of the two men he fought civil wars against (Priscennius Niger and Claudius Albinus) to retain power executed. He also weakened the power of the senate, executing many senators and replacing them with his favourites. He used the property confiscated from the executed man to fund a private imperial treasury separate from the state treasury. From then on financing of expenditure from the state and imperial treasuries became blurred.

How did Rome change after the 5 good emperors came to power?

The last of the five emperors, Marcus Aurelius, was succeeded by his son, Commodus, who was the most cruel emperor the Romans ever had. He was murdered by the praetorian (imperial) guards. He was succeeded by Pertinax, the prefect of the city, who was murdered by the praetorian guards after three months because he tried to impose discipline on them. The praetorian guards then auctioned off the imperial title. Didius Julianus, a senator, won and became emperor. The people of Rome demonstrated against Didius Julianus and called for Pescennius Niger, the governor of the Roman province of Syria, to come to Rome and claim the imperial title. The senate sentenced Didius Julianus to death. Septimius Severus, the commander of the legions in Pannonia (in south-eastern Europe) took Rome without encountering opposition, executed the murderers of Pertinax and dismissed the rest of the praetorian guard and replaced it with his own troops. He also made an alliance with Clodius Albinus, the governor Roman province of Britannia, while Niger was consolidating support in the east. Septimius Severus marched on Syria, defeated Niger and then suppressed his supporters in Iraq. He declared his son Caracalla his heir. Albinus was proclaimed emperor by the legions of Britannia and rebelled against Severus. The forces of the two men clashed in Gaul. Severus defeated and killed Albinus. He secured power and established the Severan dynasty. This period of civil war lasted from 193 to 197.
