Historical background


SEVERUS II

(1/05/305-07/307)

Caesar

Severus II was named Caesar on May 1, 305. After Constance's death, he automatically became august, but he was challenged by Constantine and Maxentius. He went to Italy at the beginning of 307, but was besieged in Ravenna by Maximian Hercules who had come to rescue his son Maxence. He surrenders to Maximian on the condition of his life, and is then executed..
