Aurum Roma — February and March 1882 — the Age of Stagnation

Historical context

In 1882 four men ascended the throne of Aurum Roma.

Coronatus II died on 11 February. His successor was Recognised on 26 February and died on 7 March, on the ninth day, without having celebrated a single pontifical mass. A candidate was rejected before the candles in April. The one who came after him was Recognised on 19 April and Unfaced within six weeks. Coronatus V ascended on 11 September and lasted six years, which in that decade is longevity.

This story is about the second of the four.
