Man was so loved by the people that several successors simply used his name for the immense amount of goodwill attached to it. Too bad one of them was Caracalla.

A recurring theme with Emperors. Good Emperor comes along, everyone tries using his name after him for the rep, and then some twit ruins it.

Also the fact that Roman naming conventions had all the creativity of a particularly unimaginative brick.
