Decimus Clodius Albinus (c. 150 - February 19, 197) was a roman usurper proclaimed emperor by the legions in Britain and Spain upon the murder of Pertinax. The name Albinus means "white", while one of his competitors for the purple was Pescennius Niger, whose name means "black". Albinus came from an aristocratic provincial family in North Africa and held the governorship of Britain by AD 192. When Pertinax was assassinated, the praetorian prefect Aemilius Laetus and his men who had arranged the murder put the thro ...

Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (August 1, 10 BC–October 13, 54), previously Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, was the fourth Roman Emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, ruling from January 24, 41 to his death in 54. Born in Lugdunum in Gaul (modern-day Lyon, France), to Drusus and Antonia Minor, he was the first Roman Emperor to be born outside Italy. Claudius was considered a rather unlikely man to become emperor. He was reportedly afflicted with some type of disability, and his family had virtu ...

In 332 BC Alexander the Great, King of Macedon, conquered Egypt, with little resistance from the Persians. He was welcomed by the Egyptians as a deliverer. He visited Memphis, and went on pilgrimage to the oracle of Amun at the Oasis of Siwa. The oracle declared him to be the son of Amun. He conciliated the Egyptians by the respect which he showed for their religion, but he appointed Greeks to virtually all the senior posts in the country, and founded a new Greek city, Alexandria, to be the new capital. The wealth of Egypt could now be harnessed for Alexander's conquest of the Persian Empire. Early in ...

Commodus, the last member of the Antoninian dynasty and remembered by contemporaneous chronicles as an unpopular ruler notorious for his extravagance and cruelty, was assassinated in 193. Without sons to be his heir, a struggle for power immediately broke out amongst the governors of the most important provinces. Pertinax was elevated to the purple and recognized by his peers, but following his murder by a restive Praetorian guard, Septimius Severus decided to make his bid for power and usurped the throne. Although initially an usurper, Seve ...

In 119, Hadrian relocated the legion to northern Britannia, to assist the already present legions in quelling the resistance there. Victrix was key in securing victory, and would eventually replace the diminished IX Hispania. In 122 the legion started work on Hadrian's Wall which would sustain the peace for two decades. Twenty years later, they helped building the Antonine Wall, but it was largely abandoned by 164. In 185, the British legions mutinied and put forward a commander of their own, named Priscus, to rep ...

After the death of Emperor Pertinax (193), a struggle started for the succession to the purple. The Emperor in Rome, Didius Julianus, had to face a pretender, the commander of the Pannonian legions Septimius Severus. Before moving on Rome, Severus made an alliance with the powerful commander of the Britannia legions, Clodius Albinus, recognizing him Caesar. After eliminating Didius (193), Pescennius Niger (194), and after a campaign in the East (195), Severus tried to legitimize his power, connecting himself with Marcus Aurelius, and raising his own son to the rank of Caesar. This last act broke Severus' alliance with Albinu ...

The Julio-Claudian dynasty was composed of the Iulii Caesares and the Claudii Nerones, two distinguished patrician families in the waning days of the old Republic. The Iulii Caesares rose to absolute power in the Roman state in the person of the paterfamilias, Julius Caesar himself; upon his murder in 44 BC, the majority of his estate passed to his posthumously adopted son, Octavian, the grandson of Caesar's sister Julia. Octavian emerged from a series of civil wars as the sole master of the Roman world, and in January 27 BC was appoi ...

There is no historical source describing the decades that followed Agricola's recall. Even the name of his replacement is unknown. Archaeology has shown that some Roman forts south of the Forth-Clyde isthmus were rebuilt and enlarged, although others appear to have been abandoned. Roman coins and pottery are found circulating at native settlement sites in what are now the Scottish lowlands in the years before 100, indicating growing Romanisation. Around 105, however, a serious setback appears to have happened at the hands of the indig ...

A printed circuit board consists of "etched conductors" attached to a sheet of insulator. The conductive pathways are called "traces" or "tracks". The insulator is called the substrate. The vast majority of 'printed circuit boards' are made by adhering a layer of copper over the entire substrate, sometimes on both sides, (creating a "blank PCB") then removing unwanted copper after applying a temporary mask (e.g. by etching in an acid), leaving only the desired copper traces. A few PCBs are made by adding traces to the bare subs ...
