In 180 CE, the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius died, marking the end of the Pax Romana, a long period of relative peace and stability across the Roman Empire. His death led to the ascension of his son, Commodus, whose reign is often associated with a decline in the effectiveness of imperial governance. The transition in leadership also initiated a period of increasing challenges, including economic troubles and military pressures on the empire's borders.
