Pescennius Niger (135/140-194) was born into an old Italian equestrian family, and was the first member to become a Roman senator. He was appointed by Commodus to be imperial legate of Syria in 191, where he was serving when news came of the murder of Pertinax in 193 and the auctioning of the imperial throne to Didius Julianus. Niger was a well regarded public figure, and the citizens of Rome called out for him to return to Rome and claim the title from Julianus. Consequently, the eastern legions proclaimed Niger as emperor in 193, the second emperor to claim the imperial title after Septimius Severus. The resulting chaos and civil war was known as the Year of the Five Emperors, with claimants all across the Roman Empire vying for the throne. Niger and Severus fought in the east to see who would become undisputed emperor, though Niger was militarily outmatched and outnumbered. Severus offered Niger the chance to surrender and go into exile, but he refused, and was eventually captured i

Macrinus (165-218) was a skilled lawyer serving under Emperor Septimius Severus, before Severus' son and successor Caracalla appointed him to prefect of the Praetorian Guard. He enjoyed the trust and protection of Caracalla, until a prophecy claimed that Macrinus would depose and succeed the emperor. Fearing for his life, Macrinus plotted to have Caracalla murdered before he himself was condemned to death. Manipulating a soldier into murdering Caracalla, Macrinus became emperor in 217, the first Roman emperor not to have hailed from the senatorial class, as well as being the first Mauretanian emperor. He ruled jointly with his young son Diadumenianus, and his first acts as emperor were to try and bring diplomatic and economic stability to an empire that had been dragged into war with several kingdoms by his predecessors. At a heavy cost to the Empire's coffers, Macrinus peacefully resolved many of the wars Rome was embroiled in, but the changes and monetary costs made him enemies in th

Martinian (-325), also known as Sextus Martinianus, was co-emperor with Licinius. Very little of his past his known aside from serving as a magister at Licinius' court. He was appointed to co-emperor in 324, when Licinius' civil war with Constantine I was at its height. Martinian was sent with an army of Visigothic auxiliaries to prevent Constantine from entering Asia Minor, but was later recalled when Constantine's armies managed to bypass Martinian's forces. It was not known if Martinian managed to reinforce Licinius in time for his defeat at the Battle of Chrysopolis in 324. Due to the intervention of Constantia, Licinius' wife and Constantine's sister, both Licinius and Martinian were initially spared, with Martinian being imprisoned in Cappadocia. Both Licinius and Martinian were executed a year later however, on the orders of Constantine.
