Quote:Vortigern, I was referring to this quote. I don't think Commodus incorporated tribes into the empire.

Quite right, Severus. I stand corrected. Sometimes I get my Emperors confused. However, our most reliable source about Commodus is not found in that dubious collection of stories called the Historia Augusta but rather from Cassius Dio who was a contemporary of the Emperor. Dio approved of Commodus as an Emperor despite his many failings. The legions did not seek to overthrow him although there were some minor mutinies.

If an Emperor is popular with the army then it's a given that the army will accept his biological son as his designated sucessor. Rule of thumb : the army loves dynastic succession.
