pertinax


Pertinax was an honest bureaucrat who briefly became emperor of Rome. He made the fatal mistake of trying to clean up the government, and was murdered after 68 days in office.

Good on him for having a go, anyway.

As an adjective, pertinax means 'holding on right through [to the end]' or, if you prefer, 'slow learner'.
