The legions of Syria, however, had proclaimed Pescennius Niger emperor. The former emperor, Didius Julianus, was condemned to death by the Senate and killed, and Severus took possession of Rome without opposition. On the murder of Pertinax by the troops in 193, they proclaimed Severus Emperor at Carnuntum, whereupon he hurried to Italy. In 190 Severus became consul, and in the following year received from the emperor Commodus (successor to Marcus Aurelius) the command of the legions in Pannonia. In 172, Severus was made a Senator by the then emperor Marcus Aurelius. Severus’s maternal cousin was Praetorian Guard and consul Gaius Fulvius Plautianus. His siblings were a younger Publius Septimius Geta and Septimia Octavilla.
His mother, Fulvia Pia's family moved from Italy to North Africa and was of the Fulvius gens, an ancient and politically influential clan, which was originally of plebeian status. Little is known of his father, Publius Septimius Geta, who held no major political status but had two cousins who served as consuls under emperor Antoninus Pius. Severus was of Italian Roman ancestry on his mother's side and of Punic or Libyan-Punic ancestry on his father's.
Severus came from a wealthy, distinguished family of equestrian rank. Septimius Severus was born and raised at Leptis Magna (modern Berber, southeast of Carthage, modern Tunisia). He was born in what is now the Berber part of Rome's historic Africa Province. Lucius Septimius Severus (or rarely Severus I) (April 11, 145/146-February 4, 211) was a Roman general, and Roman Emperor from April 14, 193 to 211. They continued to appear after Christianization of the Empire, and slowly mutated into Christian angels. These represent the spirit of victory rather than the goddess herself. Winged figures, very often in pairs, representing victory and referred to as "victories", were common in Roman official iconography, typically hovering high in a composition, and often filling spaces in spandrels or other gaps in architecture. She is often seen with or in a chariot, as in the late 18th-century sculpture representing Victory in a quadriga on the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany "Il Vittoriano" in Rome has two. Victoria appears widely on Roman coins, jewelry, architecture, and other arts. She was normally worshiped by triumphant generals returning from war.Īlso unlike the Greek Nike, who was known for success in athletic games such as chariot races, Victoria was a symbol of victory over death and determined who would be successful during war. When her statue was removed in 382 Ce by Emperor Gratianus there was much anger in Rome. Multiple temples were erected in her honor. Unlike the Greek Nike, the goddess Victoria (Latin for "victory") was a major part of Roman society. The goddess Vica Pota was also sometimes identified with Victoria. She was adapted from the Sabine agricultural goddess Vacuna and had a temple on the Palatine Hill. She is the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Nike, and was associated with Bellona.
