# The Deserters’ War and British troop revolt sit in 186 under Commodus as Livius lists them Date: 186 ## The fact Livius places the Deserters’ War and British troop revolt in 186. Britannica independently frames military disorder inside the reign. It is one event. ## Context Soldiers in revolt are a [social-cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion) harm path for the empire’s coercive core. Shared governors (Pertinax) remain the field authors of suppression. [Commodus](/people/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. Livius: 186 — Pertinax overcomes a revolt of the British troops; Deserters’ War. Field suppression is Pertinax’s and the armies’; the reign-year still carries the cohesion cost. Not Commodus’s personal British itinerary. 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 Livius — Commodus and Britannica — Commodus independently describe this instrument. Official or archival record: Livius — Commodus (https://www.livius.org/articles/person/commodus/; Livius.org). ## Significance 186 military revolts are a cohesion-harm path of high confidence on the year in Livius, medium on unique casualty totals — none invented. ## 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. Pertinax suppressed; Commodus reigned. Split from 184 title. 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.
