Septimius Severus was one of the most unusual and colourful emperors in the history of the Roman Empire. Born in Leptis Magna, today's Libya, he was the first truly African ruler of Rome. He brought the empire to the peak of its power and founded the mighty Severan dynasty of soldier-emperors. He died, alone and exhausted, in AD 211. In this meticulously researched biography, Yasmine Zahran tells the emperor's life story as a first person memoir dictated from his bed. The result is an intriguing narrative of the life of a remarkable man.
