<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3187499, member: 85693&quot;]Good points, Sallent!&nbsp; I&#039;ve been wondering why Commodus is considered such a bad emperor when, compared to his father Marcus Aurelius, his reign was so much more peaceful.&nbsp; These &quot;disgraceful&quot; deals Commodus cut with the Barbarians led to decades of peace, compared to the slogging, on-going wars Aurelius fought.&nbsp; It does appear Commodus suffered from delusions of grandeur later in his reign, but being Emperor is a stressful job! </p><p><br /></p><p>Domitan too deserves more credit than he usually gets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
