Birth and Cavaliers Career
Pettinax was the son of a freed slave from Liguria. He first served as a teacher, entered the Roman army as an officer in about 160, and was promoted to a knight. He first served as the commander of the 7th Gaul Auxiliary Army Brigade in Syria and participated in the war on Rest. In about 165 he was transferred to Britain and promoted to the guard of the Sixth Army. Later, he served as the commander of the first Tong Gu tiring brigade of 1,000 people.
After his Messiah to lead a 500 auxiliary cavalry (Ala quingenaria) province. In 168 he turned to civil affairs and became the lowest-ranking senior official in northern Italy. In about 169 he returned to the army and became the commander of the Rhine Water Army. In 170, he had become the most senior officer of the three provinces of Dakia and the province of Upper Messia. His career can be said to have been straightforward. Since then, he has contributed to the battle against the Germans who invaded Italy.
He became a member of the Senate around 171 because of his military merits and because of his strong supporters. He has been the son-in-law of the then Emperor Marco Aurelius since 169. Marco Aurelius is from Syria, where the two met. Marco Aurelius appreciates Pettinax's talents. Pettinax served as the commander of the First Corps stationed in Upper Pannonia. In the Makmanni War, he expelled all the Germans who had invaded from the provinces of Retien and Norris , and made great contributions. He also participated in the offensive in the Germanic region. For this reason, he was awarded the post of special counsel in 175.
Commodity period
In 180, Marco Aurelius’s son Commodore succeeded to the throne. From 182 to 185, Tigidius Perennis, the commander of the Imperial Guard, was the de facto power of the Roman Empire. He decided on all important personnel issues and caused some people's careers to stop. Pettinax was forced to resign. During this time he lived in seclusion in his hometown in Liguria. After Perinis was killed in 185, a freed slave, Marcus Aurelius Cleander (Marcus Aurelius Cleander), replaced Perinis as the decision-maker of Commodore. At this time Pettinax was able to return to politics. He was the governor of Britain from 185 to 187, and he gained a good reputation by putting down the local soldiers' riots. From 188 to 189 he served as the senior consul of the province of Africa, and then the city consul of the city of Rome.
Because Criande sold public office, he was notorious and hated by others. In 190 he was overthrown by a conspiracy. His opponent artificially made food scarce in Rome and accused him of responsibility. Unrest and commotion broke out in Rome. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, Commodore ordered Kriande to be executed. In this conspiracy, Petinaques played a key role as the governor of the city of Rome. He clearly won power in this turmoil. In 192 he received the honor of special consul for the second time.
Emperor
191 of the new Guard commander Letux (Aemilius Laetus) decided to get rid of Commodus, to avoid becoming a victim of its own ongoing conspiracy, he wants to own a standing emperor of his choice. On December 31, 192, Letus murdered Commodore and elected Pettinax as the new emperor.
Since Letus was the one who murdered Commode, and Petinacus was established by him, some people suspect that Petinacus was involved in this conspiracy. Historians are divided on whether this speculation is correct. The documents left over at that time were also inconclusive.
Rule and die
Pettinax has only been in power for three months, during which there have been many mutinies and conspiracies. He is in a bad situation, because he lacks his own power base, and instead relies entirely on the guards and soldiers in the capital, while Letus continues to make decisions from behind the scenes.
After Commodore's long-term rule, not only was the country's economy a complete failure but the people's respect for the emperor and traditional authority was also lost. Although Petinacus was loved by the citizens of Rome, it was of little use to him. He was killed by rebel soldiers on March 28, 193. From today's analysis, it seems that this accident was not a planned conspiracy or a planned mutiny, but was caused by the chaos caused by the soldiers' lack of discipline.
Later, the emperor Severus came to power in the name of revenge for Pettinax, and he respected Pettinax as a god.
