August 31,
161 –
December 31,
192) was a
Roman Emperor who ruled from
180 to
192. The name given here was his official name at his accession; see 'Changes of Name' for earlier and later forms. He was the son of
Marcus Aurelius; it was the first time a son had succeeded his father as Emperor since
Titus exactly a century before, and he was the first Emperor 'born to the purple', i.e. born while his father was already reigning as Emperor.
