Pertinax
c. 126 CE–c. 193 CE · Alba
Pertinax (born 126 CE at Alba Pompeia in Liguria; died 28 March 193 CE) was the son of a freedman who rose through a distinguished military and administrative career before being proclaimed emperor on 1 January 193, the first ruler of the Year of the Five Emperors. His attempts to restore military discipline and imperial finances angered the Praetorian Guard, who murdered him after a reign of roughly 87 days, after which the Guard auctioned the throne to Didius Julianus.
