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.
Diocletian introduced reforms that were not supported by the people.
the united states ,too,had to pay tribute to the Barbary coast state. the ruler of Tripoli, how ever, did not think it was enough.
Prester John was a mythical figure, he is sometime combined witht he Mongol ruler Wang Khan, who tried to assassinate Chingis Khan.
You can create a document like the magna carta and declare that the ruler can limit his power so the people are not mad at the ruler anymore. Or you can move to a democracy or something or you can just have the people agree to do the work that the ruler told them to do and deal with it and try to work hard so you don't get into any situation where you get hurt or punished a bunch so you could just do your work and not complain.

There was not any unrest in the year 200 AD. There were civil wars which followed the murder of the emperor Commodus at the end of 192 and lasted from 193 to 197. Historians call this the Year of the Five Emperor, even though this situation lasted for four years, because five men were part of a struggle over the imperial title. At the beginning of 193 the prefect of the city of Rome, Pertinax, was proclaimed emperor. However, he was murdered three months later by the Praetorian (Imperial) Guard. The title of emperor was auctioned by the army and Didius Julianus won it. Septimius Severus the commander of the armies of Pannonia, marched on Rome, deposed Didius Julianus and executed him, dismissed the Praetorian Guard and executed the soldiers who had killed Pertinax. Septimius Severus was challenged by Pescennius Niger the governor of Syria. Severus defeated him at the Battle of Cyzicus and the Battle of Battle of Nicaea in 193 and won the civil war at the Battle of Issus in 194. All these locations were in present day Turkey. Severus then besieged the city of Byzantium, which held out until 196, because it was loyal to Pescennius Niger. Clodius Albinus, the governor of Britain, who had allied with Septimius Severus who made him junior emperor and put him in charge of the much of the western part of the Roman Empire while he was fighting in the east, realised that Severus wanted to become sole ruler. A confrontation between these two men started. In 196 he proclaimed himself emperor with the support of the legions in Britain. He went to Gaul where he won a battle and gained the support of the troops in Gaul. However, he did not get the support of the troops in Germania. Septimius Severus defeated him at the Battle of Lugdunum (Lyons) in 197. He retained his position as emperor and went on to establish the Severan dynasty. Severus was a strong emperor with solid support by the army. In 198 he embarked on a war with the mighty Persian Empire

she is the best ruler because she loves Canadian bacon.
The Pax Romana is seen as ending with the rule of the emperor Commodus. He was an unjust, cruel and egotistical ruler. The later turned into megalomania. 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. His cruelty went as far as putting wounded soldiers and amputees in the gladiatorial arena for him to slay. 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 Year of the Five Emperors (193/94), during which five military commanders fought civil wars over who would hold on to the imperial title. Septimius Severus emerged as the final victor. He established the Severan dynasty.

The brothers both believed they should have been king after their father Huyana Capac died, but he did not declare the next ruler so they went to war and the winner would be the next emperor.
