Abstract
The year 193 AD, the end of the second century and the beginning of the third century, was an era of decline and collapse, and one of the most dangerous periods in ancient Roman history, as the provinces suffered from economic, political and social collapse, and the emperor's personality was shaken. The armies became the ones who appointed the emperor who paid the most. The commander of the Praetorian Guard was often the one who appointed the emperor. That year was called the Year of the Five Emperors. Therefore, it is like the ages of transition that occurred in ancient civilizations. That era proved the failure of the old systems in the Republican era and the laws established by Emperor Augustus, which led to the beginning of the emergence of new political, economic and administrative developments and systems. Roman Egypt was affected by all these accelerating events in the first half of the year 193 AD.
