In the first two hundred years of Rome's period of rule by emperors only three emperors were murdered, Caligula, Domitian and Commodus. Then four out of six emperors of the Severan dynasty were murdered and a fourth one was executed. This was due to highly unstable relationships within the Severan family. The Crisis of the Third Century then followed. This was a period of military anarchy.

The emperors of this period were mostly military commanders who had risen through the ranks of the army and were proclaimed emperors by their own troops. These emperors were often challenged by other military commanders who claimed the imperial title with the support of their troops or by commanders who tried to usurp areas of the empire. Seven emperors were murdered by the same troops which had proclaimed them who were disaffected or wanted to avoid civil war. Three emperors died in battle. Two died in outbreaks of epidemics, after five months and a year and a half of rule respectively. One was captured by the Persians and died in captivity. One emperor died apparently hit by a lightning after less than a year of rule and another died of natural causes after one year of rule. Regarding another emperor, there are two versions of their death. In one he died of fever and in the other he was assassinated. He ruled for nine months.
