<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 244243, member: 6370&quot;]so true...but Antoninus Pius was, most likely, the most level headed and fair emperor. He didnt hold treason trials and those few who lost thier life under him, did so because they were truely the worst of the worst and even then he didnt want them dead and would have nothing to do with it...he was a very wise man....so wise that his name would be adopted by many successive emperors (most who shared none of his good qualities) wishing to associate themselves with the reign of this rare good emperor.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;His reign was mostly peaceful and well administered. Compared to the chaos that was to come, Pius&#039; reign was a bit boring in the best sense of the word.&quot; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Antoninus Pius</b> </p><p>Marcus Aurelius <b>Antoninus</b> Augustus (Marcus Aurelius) </p><p>Marcus Aurelius Commodus<b> Antoninus</b> (Commodus)</p><p>Marcus Aurelius<b> Antoninus</b> (Caracalla)</p><p>Varius Avitus Bassianus Marcus Aurelius <b>Antoninus</b> (Elagabalus)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It began to be used as an add on to many emperors name, more like a title as Augustus and Ceasar...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He didnt have sex with his sister, he wasnt a glutton...heads didnt roll...he was just a smart wise man and good administrator...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/piusb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
