Flavia Titiana
Flavia Titiana († after 193) was the wife of the Roman emperor Pertinax and the mother of his son Pertinax Caesar .
Titiana was the daughter of the Roman politician Titus Flavius Sulpicianus , who came from Crete . She married Publius Helvius Pertinax, who first made a military and then a political career under Mark Aurel and Commodus . The connection resulted in a daughter and a son named after the father, who at a not exactly known time held a suffect consulate .
After the murder of Commodus, Titiana's husband Pertinax was proclaimed emperor at the beginning of 193. It is unclear whether she received the honorary title Augusta like other imperial wives , but it can be found on inscriptions and Greek coins. She survived Pertinax, who was slain by members of the Praetorian Guard after only three months in office . Her father tried to buy the imperial dignity through a generous donation to the Praetorians, but was outbid by Didius Iulianus , who became Pertinax's successor.
