About This Episode:
The sun sets on the short reign of Pertinax emperor, whose rule lasted a mere 86 days before a violent end. This video explores a pivotal moment in roman history, detailing how the praetorian guards stormed the imperial palace. It’s a gripping account from ancient history, shedding light on the precarious lives of roman emperors and the political instability that often followed figures like the death of Commodus.
In this episode of The Roman Pattern, we uncover the real power behind the Caesars:
– How Sejanus turned the Praetorian Guard into a private police state
– The day the Guard murdered Pertinax… then auctioned the Roman Empire
– How imperial freedmen bureaucrats became the true gatekeepers of power
– Why eunuchs, court officials, and generals manufactured the emperor’s reality
– How Ricimer installed puppet emperors—and why Majorian had to die
– The final truth: the emperor was just a hood ornament—the engine was the machine
Rome is falling right now—you’re just watching the replay.
