193 AD - The Year of the Five Emperors

I’m continuing my beta-test of a history of the Roman empire in the third century with an audio history of the “Year of the Five Emperors.”

This time around, I’m looking at events from the death of Commodus (192 AD) to the rise of Septimus Severus (193 AD).

It goes for 50 minutes and the sub-headings are:

• A Herculean Gladiator

• The Grey Man

• The Divine Pertinax

• The Roman Empire, Going Once, Going Twice … Sold

• But Someone Has to Be Emperor!

Let me know what you think!
