Learn about the Severan dynasty and its founder, Septimius Severus, the African emperor. Dr. Simon Elliott joins us for a discussion of the individual Severan rulers and their impact on Rome. We'll examine a number of monuments, keeping in mind that they essentially rebuilt much of Rome- and their monuments are still visible today!
