| | Roman Emperors - DIR Tacitus |
 | | In the seven hundred and twenty-second year from the foundation of the city, but the four hundred and eightieth from the expulsion of the kings, the custom was resumed at Rome of absolute obedience to one man, with, instead of rex, the appellation imperator or the more venerable name Augustus. |
 | | Aurelius Antonius Bassianus Caracalla, Severus' son, was born at Lugdunum and ruled alone six years. |
 | | In Italy, that man was victor in three battles: at Placentia, beside the Metaurus River and the Altar of Fortuna, and, finally, at the Ticenensian Fields. |
