Severus, Lucius Septimius, Emperor of Rome, 146-211.

The Arch of Septimius Severus. This large and well preserved arch is in the Roman Forum. It was erected in 203 AD to honor Emperor Septimus Sevrius and his sons, Geta and Caracalla. The reliefs on the arch illustrate Severus's victories over the Parthians. When Caracalla succeeded his father, he had his brother killed and erased Geta's name from the monument.
