Flavius Valerius Severus (or rarely Severus II) 
(died February 307) was a
Western Roman Emperor
from 306 to 307 (1 May 
305 – summer 306 (as
Caesar
in the west under
Constantius Chlorus
);
summer 306 – March or April 307 (as
Augustus
in the west, in competition with
Constantine
,
Maxentius
, and
Maximian
).

Severus was of humble birth, born in the
Illyrian
provinces around the middle of the 
third century AD. He rose to become a senior officer in the Roman army, and as 
an old friend of
Galerius
, that emperor ordered that Severus be 
appointed
Caesar
 of the
Western Roman Empire
, a post that he succeeded 
to on 1 May 305. He thus served as deputy-emperor to
Constantius I
(Constantius 
Chlorus),
Augustus
 of the western half of empire.

On the death of Constantius I in the summer of 306, Severus 
was promoted to Augustus by
Galerius
himself, in opposition to the 
acclamation of
Constantine I
(Constantius’ son) by his own 
soldiers. When
Maxentius
, the son of the retired emperor
Maximian
, revolted at

Rome, Galerius sent Severus to suppress the rebellion. Severus moved 
from his capital,
Mediolanum
, towards Rome, at the head of an 
army previously commanded by Maximian. Fearing the arrival of Severus, Maxentius 
offered Maximian the co-rule of the empire. Maximian accepted, and when Severus 
arrived under the walls of Rome and besieged it, his men deserted him and passed 
to Maximian, their old commander. Severus fled to
Ravenna
, an impregnable position: Maximian 
offered to spare his life and treat him humanely if the latter surrendered 
peaceably, which he did in March or April 307. Despite Maximian’s assurance, 
Severus was nonetheless displayed as a captive and later imprisoned at
Tres Tabernae
. When Galerius himself invaded 
Italy to suppress Maxentius and Maximian, the former ordered Severus’s death: he 
was executed (or forced to commit suicide) on 16 February 307.
