Pertinax ruled for 87 days before the Praetorian Guard murdered him in March 193, opening Rome's most explicit bout of imperial auctioning — the so-called "Sale of the Empire" to Didius Julianus. Provincial mints in Bithynia, Prusa among them, would have received news of his accession and death in such compressed succession that any civic bronze struck in his name represents an almost panicked window of official loyalty.
