Septimius Severus (193–211 AD), born at Leptis Magna in North Africa, founded the Severan dynasty after defeating his rivals in civil war. He strengthened the army’s position through increased pay and privileges, and expanded Roman control in Mesopotamia after victories over Parthia. His final campaigns took him to northern Britain, where he died at York in 211, leaving the empire to his sons Caracalla and Geta.
