Herodian, Cassius Dio, and the Augustan History provide conflicting accounts of the rise and fall of Perennis, but all three agree on the essential points of his powerful position under Commodus and his swift execution in 185. His name also appears among the signatories on the Tabula Banasitana, dated to 177.

The earlier part is largely drawn from Josephus; for Roman history he chiefly followed Cassius Dio up to the early third century. [4]
