Explanation: It was not unusual for Roman Emperors to collect more names and titles than the average person, with three names being standard for Roman citizens, but the gladiator-mad Emperor Commodus took it to an extreme, eventually granting himself a total of 12 names which were meant to reinforce how special and godlike he was, and attempted to rename the Empire itself (and all associated things, like Roman - sorry, Commodian - citizens) after him. He liked, especially, to portray himself as the earthly reincarnation of the divine Hercules.
... he was assassinated by consent of the Senate by being strangled in his bathtub, as they eventually got tired of his nonsense.
