Pertinax the Younger

Tetradrachm marked KAI[C]AP [ΠΕΡΤΙΝΑΞ] ("Caesar Pertinax")

Publius Helvius Pertinax the Younger (also Pertinax Minor; 180–212) was a Roman politician, suffect consul of 212 AD and son of Emperor Pertinax. After the latter came to power in 193 AD, the Senate wanted to proclaim Pertinax the Younger as Caesar, but the emperor rejected this proposal. Pertinax the Elder was killed on the 88th day of his reign. His son survived and under Septimius Severus became a flamen of his father's cult, and under Caracalla a suffect consul. He was later executed as a possible contender for Imperial power.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
