Roman Empire

Septimius Severus died

Monday Feb 4, 211
Eboracum, Roman Empire (Present-Day in York, England, United Kingdom)

Severus is famously said to have given the advice to his sons: "Be harmonious, enrich the soldiers, scorn all others" before he died on 4 February 211. On his death, Severus was deified by the Senate and succeeded by his sons, Caracalla and Geta, who were advised by his wife Julia Domna. Severus was buried in the Mausoleum of Hadrian in Rome. His remains are now lost.
