		Severus, who had been a supporter of Pertinax, posed as the avenger of the late emperor and marched on Rome with the support of no less than 15 legions (1 legion is about 4800 men).
		Severus also took steps to cement his legitimacy as emperor, he shocked the Senate by proclaiming himself the son of Marcus Aurelius and by restoring the memory of Commodus, now his brother, which allowed him to trace his authority, through adoption, back to the emperor Nerva.
		Severus died at the age of 65, his reign lasted nearly 18 years, a duration that would not be matched until Diocletian.
