Scenarios about 'severan dynasty'
The Severan dynasty ruled the Roman Empire from 193 to 235 CE, founded by Septimius Severus following the Year of the Five Emperors. This dynasty marked a significant shift in Roman imperial politics with increased militarization, greater prominence of provincial influences, particularly from North Africa and Syria, and economic reforms including currency debasement. The Severan period represents a transitional phase between the stability of the early Principate and the later Crisis of the Third Century, making it a pivotal point for alternate history scenarios exploring Rome's potential trajectories.
