The Pax Romana is seen as ending with the rule of the emperor Commodus. He was an unjust, cruel and egotistical ruler. The later turned into megalomania. He called himself the new Romulus, renamed Rome Colonia Lucia Annia Commodiana, changed the names of the months with names he gave to himself, renamed the legions Commodianae and the senate Commodian Fortunate Senate. His cruelty went as far as putting wounded soldiers and amputees in the gladiatorial arena for him to slay.

Not surprisingly, Commodus was unpopular. Under his rule Rome lost cohesion.There were conspiracies against him and he was assassinated during a coup d' etat. The coup led to the Year of the Five Emperors (193/94), during which five military commanders fought civil wars over who would hold on to the imperial title.

Septimius Severus emerged as the final victor. He established the Severan dynasty.
