Pertinax, 31 December 192 - 28 March 193 A.D.
|Pertinax|, |Pertinax,| |31| |December| |192| |-| |28| |March| |193| |A.D.|, Providentia is the personification of the ability to foresee and to make provision for the future. This ability was considered essential for the emperor and providentia was among the embodiments of virtues that were part of the imperial cult. Cicero said that providentia, memoria (memory) and intellegentia (understanding) are the three main components of prudentia, the knowledge what is good or bad or neither.
