Marcus Aurelius, the philosopher-emperor, is celebrated as the last of the 'Five Good Emperors'. But his decision to choose his biological son, Commodus; whose disastrous, tyrannical reign signaled the Roman Empire is considered one of histories most significant tragedies.
Historians often critique Marcus for abandoning the Nerva-Antonine tradition of adoptive succession for bloodline. However its a little bit more complicated than that..
Factors like the Antonine Plague (a lack of good heirs), and the Avidius Cassidus revolt all factored in here. Commodus' succession was a political necessity driven by bloodline preference, plague, and crisis, not a philosophical failure from Marcus' end.
