	Roman Emperors - DIR Septimius Severus
		Lucius Septimius Severus restored stability to the Roman empire after the tumultuous reign of the emperor Commodus and the civil wars that erupted in the wake of Commodus' murder.
		Severus was born 11 April 145 in the African city of Lepcis Magna, whose magnificent ruins are located in modern Libya, 130 miles east of Tripoli.
		Septimius Severus had the strong support of the armies along the Rhine and Danube, but the loyalty of the governor of Britain, Clodius Albinus, was in doubt.

	Septimius Severus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lucius Septimius Severus was born at Leptis Magna (southeast of Carthage, in present day Libya), on the coast of North Africa.
		According to the sources, however, after 197 Severus was under the heavy influence of his prefect of praetorium, Gaius Fulvius Plautianus, who came to have the almost total control of most branches of the imperial administration.
		In general it may thus be said that the position of the Christians under Septimius Severus was the same as under the Antonines; but the law of this Emperor at least shows clearly that the rescript of Trajan had failed to execute its purpose.

	(110) Septimius Severus (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Lucius Septimius Severus was born in Leptis Magna in North Africa and emerged as sole emperor in the chaotic period after the murder of the emperor Pertinax, when several rivals for the throne engaged in civil war from A.D. 193 to 197.
		Severus' portrait on his earliest coins depicts him either in the types of the other contenders to the throne, probably because his official portrait type had not yet been established, or as a military officer with a furrowed brow and short beard.
		On the reverse are the emperor's two sons; the elder, Antoninus, on the left had been elevated to the rank of Augustus in A.D. 198 and is therefore distinguished by his laurel wreath from his brother, Geta, whose rank was Caesar.
