First quaestor and then praetor, he obtained the command of legions in upper Germania and then became prefect of Gaul Belgium. He distinguished himself by his military actions in the defense of the limes, but involved in a failed plot against Commodus, the latter demoted him and moved him away from Rome by assigning him a post of proconsul of Africa. Following the assassination of Commodus and three months later that of Pertinax, Didius Julianus claims the title of emperor. He will have to pay a colossal donativum to the praetorian guard, but it works. Thus imposed to the Senate by the army, Didius Julianus is immediately hated by the senators as well as by the population. A general named Septimius Severus enters quickly in rebellion and rallies the cities of Italy, before being declared emperor by the Senate in June 193 at the expense of a Didius Julianus abandoned of all. Sentenced to death by the Senate, he ended up being murdered by a soldier in his imperial palace the day after his dismissal. The very short duration of his reign, hardly more than two months, from March 28, 193 to June 1, 193, makes all the rarity and the interest of his coinage, which will have been struck only in the mint of Rome. The sesterce we offer for sale is covered with a very nice green patina and comes with its old pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e18.63 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43836676636901,"sku":"1066335","price":1090.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/products\/1066335A.jpg?v=1693948164","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/products\/1066335-coin-didius-julianus-sestertius-193-rome-vf-30-35-bronze-cohen-17","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
