Historical notes: Lucius Septimius Severus was a outstanding soldier holding increasingly important commands until, at the death of Commodus, he was governor of Upper Pannonia. He expressed his allegiance to Pertinax, but after his murder and the shameful elevation of Didius Julianus, Severus was saluted as emperor by the troops at Carnuntum. He rapidly disposed of Julianus, Niger, and later defeated Clodius Albinus. Severus spent much of his time campaigning in different parts of the Empire.; in Britain where there was an unrest after a great invasion of barbarians. He repaired Hadrian’s Wall. He invaded Caledonia but without much success. The strain on the old emperor was too much and he died at York.
