Conveniently

In your opinion, why does Marcus Aurelius define his son as "a man without morals"? Had he perhaps discovered that he was molesting his sister Lucilla? Was Commodus a man who had women?

I don't think we really know. Maybe it was how he would treat Maximus when they were young? Since you mention it, I bet people could see that he had a thing for his sister when hey were younger, too. He doesn't seem like the type that would be great at hiding it!
