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. Septimius Severus came from a distinguished local family with cousins who received suffect consulships in Rome under Antoninus Pius. 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. www.roman-emperors.org /sepsev.htm   (2484 words)

Septimius Severus - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Lucius Septimius Severus, (April 11, 146 - February 4, 211) was Roman emperor from April 9, 193 to 211. In the later years of his reign Septimius undertook a number of military actions in defence of Roman Britain against barbarian incursions and undertook reconstruction of Hadrian's Wall before dying in York on February 4, 211. 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. open-encyclopedia.com /Septimius_Severus   (721 words)

[No title] Septimius turned along the road towards the village, meaning to mingle with the crowd on the green, and there learn all he could of the rumors that vaguely filled the air, and doubtless were shaping themselves into various forms of fiction. Septimius went into his house, and sat in his study for some hours, in that unpleasant state of feeling which a man of brooding thought is apt to experience when the world around him is in a state of intense action, which he finds it impossible to sympathize with. Septimius remembered the young man's injunctions to bury him there, on the hill, without uncovering the body; and though it seemed a sin and shame to cover up that beautiful body with earth of the grave, and give it to the worm, yet he resolved to obey. public.planetmirror.com /pub/pg/etext05/8sept10.txt   (13990 words)

The reign of Septimius Severus Septimius had done away with Niger, but still had not given Albinus the official title of "Caesar", and "Albinus aspired to the pre-eminence of Emperor" (Dio 76, 4). Septimius gave the award of consular rank to Plautianus, and his daughter Plautilla was married to Caracalla. Septimius at this time is responsible also for adding a number of beautiful landmarks, some of which still stand today. www.mta.ca /faculty/humanities/classics/Course_Materials/clas3031/projects/elmore_et_al.html   (2680 words)

Septimius Felton; or, The Elixir of Life, by Nathaniel Hawthorne Septimius, obeying his directions, took from his breast a miniature that hung round it; but, on examination, it proved that the bullet had passed directly through it, shattering the ivory, so that the woman's face it represented was quite destroyed. Septimius was surprised, or deeply impressed, to see that through this paper, as well as through the miniature, had gone his fatal bullet,–straight through the midst; and some of the young man's blood, saturating his dress, had wet the paper all over. Septimius did as the young man requested, and then stood leaning against one of the neighboring pines, watching his victim with a tender concern that made him feel as if the convulsive throes that passed through his frame were felt equally in his own. www.gutenberg.org /dirs/etext05/8sept10h.htm   (16282 words)

LUCIUS SEPTIMIUS SEVERUS - LoveToKnow Article on LUCIUS SEPTIMIUS SEVERUS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) The senate became a mere registration office for the imperial determinations, and its members, as has been well said, a choir for drawling conventional hymns of praise in honor of the monarch. Even the nominal restoration of the senates power at the time of Alexander Severus, and the accession of so-called senatorial emperors later on, did not ~ace the work of Septimius Severus, which was resumed and carried to its fulfilment by Diocletian. The numerous inscriptions belonging to the age of Septimius Severus enable us to control at many points and largely to supplement the literary records of his reign, particularly as regards the details of his administration. www.1911encyclopedia.org /S/SE/SEVERUS_LUCIUS_SEPTIMIUS.htm   (5658 words)

Septimius Severus, Roman Emperor of Phoenician Descent Septimius Severus came from a distinguished Phoenician family with cousins who received suffect consulships in Rome under Antoninus Pius. The future emperor was helped in his early career by one of his consular cousins, who arranged entry into the senate and the favor of the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Culturally and ideologically Septimius Severus connected his reign to the earlier Antonine era, but the reforms he enacted would eventually alter the very character of Roman government. phoenicia.org /septiumiusseverus.html   (2702 words)

[No title] Clearly Septimius was making a point.(23) His careful nature is also revealed when--after his defeat of Albinus and his first victory against the Parthians-- the senate voted Septimius a triumph and he declined, not wanting it to look like he was celebrating a civil war. Septimius' extraordinary self-adoption into the family of Marcus (calling himself "The son of Marcus" on a coin of 195,--reverse legend DIVI M. P.COS.IIP.P.S.C.(34)) is perhaps one of the most blatant political moves in imperial history. Septimius could do no better than to try and capitalize on this fact and associate himself with that family. intranet.dalton.org /groups/Rome/bray.htm   (1396 words)

ACM Presents DOUG SMITH: FEATURED COIN: "A Septimius Severus Drachm from Caesarea, Cappadocia"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) The coins of Caesarea under Septimius Severus were dated with the Greek numeral for the year of the reign starting with 'B' for year two. The exchange of these two letters is rather common on the Eastern denarii of Septimius Severus and, considering that the Greek alphabet made no use of the letter form 'R', is not hard to understand the confusion. The frequency of this 'error' is high enough that it should be considered a matter of style rather than as 'error'. www.ancientcoinmarket.com /ds/featured/feature25/1.html   (757 words)

Septimius Severus - Anthony R. Birley - Microsoft Reader eBook Septimius Severus, the African Emperor, was descended from Phoenician settlers in Tripolitania, and his reign, AD 193-211, represents a turning point in Roman history.

After a distinguished career characterized by administration reorganization, exploits on the battlefield and the intensification of Christian persecution, Septimius died conducting yet another military campaign, this one in York in Britain, on February 4, 211 C.E. He was sixty-five years old and had been in poor health, suffering severely from gout, for years. Septimius Severus was succeeded in 211 C.E. by his sons Lucius Septimius Geta (211-212 C.E.) and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus aka Caracalla (211-217 C.E.). www.cwo.com /~lucumi/rome3.html   (2631 words)
