During Septimius Severus's campaign to conquer Caledonia (Scotland), his son Caracalla was the second in command of the army and his other son, Geta, had administrative duties. Septimius Severus had taken the Southern Uplands and the Central Lowlands and was preparing to conquer the Highlands and wanted to exterminate the Caledonians. However, he fell ill and died. The troops proclaimed both Caracalla and Geta emperors. Caracalla abandoned the military campaign and both brothers returned to Rome. This was because both brothers wanted to be sole emperor and both wanted to concentrate on this power struggle in Rome. Caracalla tried to murder Geta at a festival of the Saturnalia (17 December) and later in that month he got the imperial guard to kill him.
In this period there was the end of what historians have called the Pax Romana, which was a period of relative political stability in the Roman Empire which followed the creation of rule by emperors by Augustus. After the death of Marcus Aurelius his son Commodus became the emperor. He was the worse one the Romans ever had. He was unjust and cruel. He was murdered in 192. This was followed by what historians called The Year of the Five Emperors (193) which started a period of conflict. The successor of Commodus, Pertinax, was also assassinated. The imperial title was bought by Didus Julianus. Septimius Severus deposed Pertinax. Two other men, besides Severus, claimed the imperial title, Pescennius Niger, Clodius Albinus. Septimius Severus fought civil wars against Pescennius Niger and Clodius Albinus and emerged victorious. These civil wars continued until 197.

Septimius Severus became Roman emperor after the Year of the Five Emperors (193) where five men fought for the title of emperor following the assassination of the emperor Commodus.The Praetorian Guard (imperial guard) installed Pertinax as emperor expecting a generous donation from him. When he did not pay them, they deposed him. Didius Julianus purchased the imperial title from the Pretorian Guard. The generals Pescennius Niger , Septimius Severus , and Clodius Albinus refused to recognise him. Angry crowns in Rome called for Niger to come to Rome and claim the imperial title for himself. His troops in Syria proclaimed him emperor. However, Septimius Severus, whose troops were closer to Rome, advanced on Italy and deposed Julianus. The senate passed a motion proclaiming Severus emperor.Niger secured support in the east of the empire, but Severus, after having secured the support of Clodius, marched eastwards, defeated Niger in 194 and besieged Byzantium, which was loyal to Niger. After Byzantium fell in 196, Severus declared his son Caracalla as his successor. Clodius Albinus, saw his position in danger and challenged Severus. He had his troops proclaim him emperor, crossed the channel and stationed his troops in Gaul. Septimius defeated Clodius at the Battle of Lugdunum (Lyons) in 197 and gained control over the empire.
