<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mithridates, post: 2069291, member: 73314&quot;][USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER], yes Commodus&#039;s reign definitely did not turn out well and really the nepotistic form of picking a successor really did not work out very well. Which, as far as Marcus Aurelius&#039; reign is concerned, I would consider one of his poorest decisions in that he returned to it after decades of typically well appointed rulers. Though I&#039;m sure bloodshed would&#039;ve occurred at some point if he chose to pass over his son. But as far as the question I would probably say the next may be Constantine VII during the Byzantine era. Who was actually literally born in the purple room even.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
