tgt: A Pertinax e Alexandre, por serem príncipes novos, foi inútil e prejudicial querer imitar Marco que se encontrava no principado iure hereditario; igualmente, a Caracala, Cômodo e Maximino foi pernicioso o imitar Severo, por não possuírem tanta virtude que fosse bastante para que pudessem seguir suas pegadas.
