Severus Alexander

First decent Severan. It's a shame he was assassinated at such a young age.

Good kid, probably could've gone down as a good emperor if he wasn't such a mama's boy.

Anyone looks good compared to the tranny the preceded him. Anyway I genuinely like these daily threads, you should go full autismo and do Consuls next.

Tried his best, did nothing wrong, had potential, so on so on . . .

Dumbass soldiers plunged empire into crisis with his murder.

I like these threads by the way.

He was a gentle, good-natured person. Meaning, he was absolutely the opposite of what Rome needed at the helm.

>who is Septimius?
Septimius is the only decent Severan, the rest sucked. Literally the worst dynasty in Roman Imperial history apart from Nikephoran dynasty

The only good thing he did was put the praetorian guard in their place upon arrival. The rest of his reign was stable but set up for failure.
