There is a precedent for this: Didio Juliano became Emperor of Rome in 193,<br> although he did not have much time to appreciate the work he had bought.\n\nThe first months of 193 were turbulent times in Rome. Emperor Commodus,<br> who was one of the least worthy emperors to date,<br> was killed on December 31,<br> 192,<br> but his assassins had not thought much about what would happen next. The next day they offered the job to someone who thought they were going to place their orders,<br> ie Pertinax.\n\nHowever,<br> Pertinace refused to play the role of a docile puppet and the quickly alienated people who needed her,<br> namely,<br> the judge of the Guard should be an elite force and an \"emperor of the equipment of Individual protection\".\n\nThe problem was that the Emperor Commodador had allowed the soldiers who formed the Praetorian Guard to become lazy and careless. They were very well paid and some of them were not against criminal activity to increase their income. They loved their luxurious lifestyle and had nothing to do but throw themselves on the streets of Rome,<br> like the police and the bandits of the Emperor. They had what they wanted and no one could move a finger to stop them.\n\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zgrVEkH6bvI?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\nBut then came Pertinax,<br> who was trying to reform the Praetorian Guard and introduce a military discipline that had unfortunately been neglected. Unsurprisingly,<br> it did not go well with the guards,<br> and they took revenge in a dangerous way,<br> attacking the Imperial Palace and killing Pertinax after only 86 days in power. There was no doubt in the upper part of Rome. The Senate had no power against this brigade of murderous hooligans.\n\nWhat would happen if the Emperor suddenly became free,<br> it would be that a serious candidate,<br> with the support of at least one Roman legion,<br> appears somewhere in the provinces and goes immediately to Rome to assert his rights. Guard Praetorius knew this and knew that they had to hire someone quickly to counter such a threat.\n\nBut they also wanted someone else like Commodus Pertinace,<br> an emperor who would continue to enjoy their pampered lifestyle. What would it have been? A continuous luxury or a strong leader? They let themselves be seduced by the first temptation and imagine a way to make sure that's what they have.\n\nSubsequently,<br> they invited candidates for the position to submit offers in the form of bonuses for members of the guard. The man with the deepest pockets,<br> regardless of the other qualities he could or could not possess,<br> would be the next emperor.\n\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R_U0hkRpIHc?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\nTwo candidates contacted each other. It was a perfect named Flavio Sulpicianus and a senator named Didius Salvius Julianus,<br> who held various positions in the government and obtained enormous wealth through the questionable exercise of his responsibilities.\n\nFlavius Sulpicianus visited the military camp to introduce himself when Didius Julianus introduced himself. He had heard about the auction,<br> because that was what he was when he attended a family banquet,<br> and his wife and daughter urged him to make an offer. The chance to suddenly become an imperial family,<br> they wanted to conquer,<br> even if Didius himself had not been so enthusiastic at first.\n\nThe guards at the gate of the military camp refused to report that Didius was a senator and a potential enemy and Didius had to shout their offers and wait until they were delivered to the auctioneer,<br> as the phone offers are received in a modern auction.\n\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pYaRbQFxmlU?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\nThe point in question was the men's bonus,<br> which each candidate was willing to offer to members of the Guard in addition to their annual salary,<br> which was about 1300 Sesterzii. Flavio Sulpicianus needed to stop when the number achieved 20,<br>000 Sestercii,<br> yet Didius Julianus figured out how to conquer that by offering 25,<br>000 summers. As it would have been paid for every one of the 2000 individuals from the Monitor,<br> you can perceive how much cash was spent and how much the entire procedure was ignored.\n\nThe Senate had no choice but to accept Didius Julianus as the new emperor,<br> but the Pretorian Guard had counted without the true arbiters in all this,<br> it is the people of Rome,<br> both in the city and in the city. empire more vast.\n\nAt the point when the news originated from Didius Julianus,<br> the outrage of the general population woke up to the point that Didius couldn't go anyplace without affronts and even shakes toward him. Before long he and his family wound up deliberate detainees in the supreme castle and not the extravagant daily famous people who had affectionately introduced themselves to the lady and young lady.\n\nAs feared by some members of the Guardia del Pretorio,<br> there was a strong candidate for an imperial position in Rome. It was Septimius Severus,<br> commander-in-chief of the Balkans,<br> who had begun his journey as soon as the news of Pertinace's death arrived. Septimius was accompanied by capable soldiers who knew everything about the countryside and the fighting,<br> unlike the Praetorian Guard,<br> poorly trained and concentrated.\n\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FsjYUjGenuU?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\nDidius Julianus hopes to save himself by making an agreement with Settimio,<br> with whom they would become common emperors,<br> but Settimio does not consider him a good deed. Instead,<br> Settimio made an agreement with the Pretorian Guard that most of them would be spared if they left Pertinace's killers. This was enough for the Senate to find its value and request the execution of Didius Julianus.\n\nDidius was killed in his royal residence by an individual from a similar praetorian monitor who had composed his arrangement only two months previously. His \"control\" was in this manner much shorter than the 86 days of Pertinax.\n\nOnce installed,<br> Septime Severus dissolved the discredited Pretorian Guard and took time to create a completely new replacement.\n\nFortunately,<br> the experience of auctioning the imperial office was widely regarded as a dismal failure that clouded Rome's honor,<br> and this idea was never repeated.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"community\":\"busy\",<br>\"app\":\"busy\/2.4.0\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\",<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/163888873912224919\/\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/0x0\/https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/22\/4f\/be\/224fbebc6df3f1bb79b891c26e4452ef.jpg\" ,<br>\"tags\":[\"busy\",<br>\"ocd-resteem\",<br>\"culturevulture\",<br>\"history\",<br>\"thealliance\" " | | vote | "voter":"socialreformer",
