	Pertinax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in Alba, the son of a freedman Helvius Successus, originally Pertinax made his way as a grammaticus or teacher of grammar, but he eventually decided to find a more rewarding line of work and through the help of patronage he was commissioned an officer in a cohort.
		In 175 he received the honor of a suffect consulship and until 185, Pertinax was governor of the provinces of Upper and Lower Moesia, Dacia, Syria and finally governor of Britain.
		Pertinax must have been aware of the danger he faced by assuming the purple, for he refused to use imperial titles for either his wife or son, thus protecting them from the aftermath of his own assassination.

	Pertinax, Emperor Elvis
		Pertinax was actually the son of a former slave, who had made a fortune as a commodity trader (timber or wool -- stories vary) and who probably sold supplies to the army, everybody's biggest customer.
		Pertinax's career suffered for a short time, but he was one of the army's best generals, and so he was called up again to suppress a revolt in Britain, an assignment which, not incidentally, also sent him far from the Roman political scene.
		Pertinax got wind of the plot and rushed back to Rome where he addressed the Senate, saying that it was the fault of palace freedmen that the treasury cupboard was bare and that the Praetorians were attempting a coup.

	193: Severus and Traditional Auctoritas
		Pertinax, the son of a freedman, at first sight would seem to be unlikely man to become emperor.
		Though the guard had hailed Pertinax emperor, the approval and grant of the imperial powers by the senate were the traditional steps that officially made a man the emperor.
		Pertinax was certainly popular with troops but this also speaks to how much he was perceived as legitimate throughout the empire and his image could hopefully be tapped as a source of auctoritas for Severus.

		The careers of Pertinax and Macrinus, the two non-Severan emperors of the Severan period, reflect two competing ideals of the emperor's role as father within his biological family.
		Pertinax is commended by Dio for refusing the titles of Augusta for his wife and Caesar for his son, and for sending his son and daughter to live with their grandfather, where he would visit them from time to time as their father, not as the emperor.
		Septimius and Caracalla, by contrast with Pertinax, used propaganda and policy to promote all three types of family and, within them, the role of the father; I have attempted to show a connection between these two emperors' emphasis on family and their autocratic, anti-senatorial approach to government.
