Gaius Pescennius Niger (ca. 135–194 CE ) was emperor for a brief period in the late second century, one of three men vying for control of the empire in the turbulent period after the death of Commodus (Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus) during which time two emperors were killed within five months.
