Clodius Albinus

Clodius Albinus (died February 19, 197) was proclaimed Roman Emperor by the legions in Britain and Spain upon the murder of Pertinax. In the civil war that followed, he was initially allied with Septimus Severus, who had captured Rome, and accepted the title of Caesar from him. Albinus remained effective ruler of much of the western part of the empire. The two came into conflict after Severus defeated Pescennius Niger in the eastern part of the empire, however, and Albinus was killed in the Battle of Lugdunum against the army of Severus.

Another Clodius Albinus was procurator in the Roman province of Judea in AD 62, immediately after the death of James the Just.
