Marcus Aurelius was succeeded by his son, Commodus.
. Commodus was the worst Roman emperor. He was an unjust, cruel and egotistical ruler. He fancied himself as a gladiator and fought in the arena. He always won because the gladiators let him and he spared their lives. However, he killed his sparring partners in practice when he won. He bound people who had lost their feet and then clubbed them to death. He also killed with a sword injured soldiers and amputees. He fought against animals in the arena. He decapitated an ostrich and carried its head to the section where senators sat and signalled to them they were going to be the next ones. He killed a giraffe, even though this animal was considered harmless and not worthy to fight against. He was megalomaniac. 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.
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 five years of civil wars. Septimius Severus emerged as the final victor. He established the Severan dynasty.
