On the Fact that if Albinus Had Simply Opted for British Independence from Rome In 197, There Is Little Doubt that the Fellow Would Have Succeeded (Rome's Control of Britain Being Rather Shaky by the Late Second Century) but Being that His Lust for Power Was Immense (and Prototypical for that Era) He Went for the Entire Enchilada and Ultimately Offed Himself at the Battle of Lugdunum In Gaul

Yeah, I guess that his motivation was noble (he apparently wanted Rome to be a Republic again) but you have to know your limitations and he clearly didn't.......Taking over the whole Roman Empire, come on.
