Quote:This is indeed interesting. How old was Commodus? 14? If Marcus had died at this time, his wife turning to the most powerful man in the empire to protect her son would make sense.
This is indeed what Dio writes (here). It would make her act like Trajan's wife Plotina, who saw to the hand-over of power to Hadrian.
