Is Severus Snape a good guy?

Good and bad are subjective terms, people do both good and bad. Severus Snape certainly wasn't without fault - he did a lot of bad things, but he also did a lot of good things. Snape joined the death eater initially, but was later instrumental in destroying Lord Voldemort.


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.

Was commodus a good or bad emperor?

There were five good emperors (a term which was coined by Machiavelli and is still used). They were: Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius. Although Commodus was Marcus Aurelius' son and chosen heir, he is not considered one of the good emperors. He had little interest in state administration and delegated the running of the state to his favourites. He preferred to live outside Rome, spending his time hunting. His bad rule led to several conspiracies, his assassination and the so-called Year of the Five Emperors. In this year five men fought each other to become emperors. Four of them were deposed soon after usurping the tile. The last one, Septimius Severus, managed to hold on to power. Commodus' rule was described by an ancient historian as the descent "from a kingdom of gold to one of rust and iron."
