Years: 193 - 193

Pertinax attempts to emulate the restrained practices of Marcus Aurelius, and makes an effort to reform the alimenta, but he faces antagonism from many quarters.
He revalues the Roman currency dramatically, increasing the silver purity of the denarius from 74% to 87%—the actual silver weight increasing from 2.22 grams to 2.75 grams.
His currency reform is far-sighted, but will not survive his death.
He attempts to impose stricter military discipline upon the pampered Praetorians.
