Commodius

• Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus: originally Lucius Aelius Aurelius Commodus (161–192 A.D.) (Shem), the son of Marcus Aurelius (HCE), was a Roman Emperor who ruled from 180 to 192 A.D. He is often considered to have been one of the worst Roman Emperors, and his reign brought to a close the era of the "five good emperors". He had a twin brother, Antoninus (Shaun), who died when he was about four years old, and a sister Lucilla (Issy) who was implicated in plots to overthrow him
