c2.8

The reign of the new emperor was short, and he was succeeded by his son, who was a man of a very different character. He was a man of a cruel and tyrannical disposition, and he soon restored the old system of government. The people were again subjected to the same oppressions, and the empire was again plunged into a state of war and confusion. The new emperor was assassinated, and he was succeeded by his brother, who was a man of a more moderate character. He was a man of a mild and gentle disposition, and he endeavoured to restore the peace and prosperity of the empire. He was successful in his efforts, and the empire enjoyed a period of peace and prosperity for many years.
