Caracala's Last Words Are, Poor, Unhappy Soul of Mine, Imprisoned in a Vile Body

With cornoficius passing, we have the murder of commodus pompeianus. The praetorian prefect, pinianus, had been dismissed by caracala after septimius sevus death. Caracala orders the pretorian guard to kill them both. He even complains that papinianus is executed with an axe rather than a sword. It's important to point out that caracal doesn't get rid of all his father's advisers. So iis definitely a shifting, a changing of the guard there.
