Julianus became emperor after a series of events following the assassination of the previous emperor, Pertinax, in 193 AD. He was a wealthy senator and took advantage of the chaos in Rome, offering a substantial sum of money to the Praetorian Guard, who were responsible for the emperor's security. In exchange for this bribe, the Guard declared him emperor, despite the lack of broader support within the Senate and the general populace. His reign was short-lived, as he faced immediate challenges and was soon overthrown and killed.
