This denarius was minted during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus, under whom Clodius Albinus was initially appointed Caesar (heir apparent) before their relationship deteriorated into conflict. Clodius Albinus, a prominent Roman general, played a key role during the Year of the Five Emperors (AD 193), a time of great instability and civil war in the Roman Empire. His eventual bid for power against Septimius Severus ended in defeat and his death in AD 197.
