Severan Dynasty
The Severan Dynasty was a ruling family of Roman emperors from 193 to 235 AD, starting with Emperor Septimius Severus. They strengthened the empire's military and administration but also faced internal conflicts and economic challenges. The dynasty included notable emperors like Caracalla, who granted Roman citizenship to many, and Severus Alexander. Their reign marked a period of military expansion but also increasing political instability, ultimately leading to their decline. The Severans played a significant role in shaping the late Roman Empire's structure and complexities.
