* Marcus Antoninus Pius COMMODUS (born 161, died 192 CE).

** Crispina Bruttia (d. 183 CE) aka his sister “Lucilla”? Both died the same

year. He (COMMODUS) had over 300 sons by as many concubines and no

telling how many daughters. None of his sons appear to have become emperors.

They were probably made eunichs and served as royal slaves.
