Pertinax, 31 December 192 - 28 March 193 A.D.
|Pertinax|, |Pertinax,| |31| |December| |192| |-| |28| |March| |193| |A.D.|, Pertinax was the son of a humble charcoal-burner. After a successful career in the military, as a senator and then as praefect of the city of Rome, he reluctantly accepted the throne offered by the murderers of Commodus. After a reign of only 86 day he was murdered by mutinous guards.

Ops, more properly Opis, (Latin: "Plenty") was a fertility deity and earth-goddess in Roman mythology of Sabine origin.
