Head of Pertinax, laureate, right., Providentia, draped, standing left, holding right hand above head to star and resting left hand on breast., Extremely rare sestertius of Pertinax, who reigned for only a few weeks at the beginning of 193, succeeding Commodus after his assassination at the end of December 192. As the emperor's co-consul, he was seen as a legitimate successor by the Senate, which chose him as head of the empire. However, he decided to introduce a "donativa", a gift of money to the soldiers, which he failed to carry out in full, giving only half the sum promised. He was assassinated on 28 March 193 for this reason, and this led to a new civil war, notably with Didius Julianus and Pescennius Niger, two usurper emperors whose coins were extremely rare and sought after by collectors. Septimius Severus emerged victorious from these confrontations and was brought to power at the end of 193.
