# On return to Rome in 180 Commodus issues accession donatives and celebrates as received

Date: 180

## The fact

Britannica and Livius independently place [Commodus](/people/commodus)’s 180 return to Rome after the Danube settlement.

It is one event.

## Context

Cash and spectacle to soldiers and people are a cohesion path and a fiscal cost.

Commodus’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Standard lives place the return from the Danube and public entry into Rome after the 180 settlement. Congiaria and donatives are the received liberalitas heading. Dio/Herodian hostility to later games is a neighbouring arena file, not a reason to drop accession gifts as a public instrument.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica — Commodus and Livius — Commodus independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Britannica — Commodus (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Commodus; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

Accession donatives are a cohesion path of medium confidence on exact sums — none invented here — high that a public return-and-gift cluster is received.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a sourced public record of this instrument at the date assigned here.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Commodus.

They are not a public rating.

The driver `social-cohesion` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Commodus did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Do not invent a denarius total. Do not merge with 192 arena days. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Commodus.
