Resumo
From an analysis of works The Roman Empire History after
Marcus Aurelius of Herodian and Roman History of Cassius Dio, we
propose to examine how these two authors presented the government
of Commodus. In the Roman Empire, each sovereign who ascended to
power was forced to redo the provincial agreements and the patronage and
amicitia relations with senatorial and equestrian orders, with armed men
and members of the plebs. Each Emperor had to restore order, ensure the
abundance and gain authority. Even the rulers who succeeded considered
good Emperors, like Marcus Aurelius, had to reorganize their political al-
liances in order to govern. We intend to demonstrate this by analyzing the
government of Commodus, Marcus ́ son and inheritor.
