 Following the pointless rebellion of Avidius Cassius, Marcus Aurelius and his family went on a tour of the eastern provinces that had, however briefly, supported the would-be usurper. Here Marcus faced tragedy after tragedy: first the death of his wife, Faustina, while in Cappadocia then the death of his last son, Commodus, over the Winter. Allowing himself little time to grieve, he continued onward with one of his daughters to Tarsos then, eventually, Alexandria, where he is said to have "conducted himself like a private citizen and a philosopher at all the schools and temples". On his return to Rome, by way of Antioch then Athens, where he began by speaking at the Stoa Poikile on remaining steadfast in the face of death. Following the pointless rebellion of Avidius Cassius, Marcus Aurelius and his family went on a tour of the eastern provinces that had, however briefly, supported the would-be usurper.

 While Serenus was not granted //imperium// or other imperials powers in time for the triumphal celebrations, he was appointed //Caesar// after the address to the Senate and would not be far from Marcus for his entire stay in Rome. When news came that the situation on the Danube was deteriorating, Marcus set out to the frontier with his son in tow to finally bring this war to an end. While Serenus was not granted //imperium// or other imperials powers in time for the triumphal celebrations, he was appointed //Caesar// after the address to the Senate and would not be far from Marcus for his entire stay in Rome.
