Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander (October
1, 208–March 18, 235 AD), commonly called Alexander Severus, was the last Roman
emperor (11 March 222–235) of the Severan dynasty
Alexander Severus succeeded his cousin,
Elagabalus upon the latter's assassination in 222 AD, and was ultimately
assassinated himself, marking the epoch event for the Crisis of the Third
Century —nearly fifty years of disorder, Roman civil wars, economic chaos,
regional rebellions, and external threats that brought the Empire to
near-collapse.
Alexander Severus was the heir apparent to his cousin, the eighteen-year-old
Emperor who had been murdered along with his mother by his own guards—and as a
mark of contempt, had their remains cast into the Tiber river . He and his
cousin were both grandsons of the influential and powerful Julia Maesa , who had
arranged for Elagabalus' acclamation as Emperor by the famed Third Gallic Legion
.
A rumor of Alexander's death circulated, triggering the assassination of
Elagabalus.
Alexander's reign was marked by troubles. In military conflict against the
rising Sassanid Empire , there are mixed accounts, though the Sassanid threat
was checked. However, when campaigning against Germanic tribes of Germania ,
Alexander Severus apparently alienated his legions by trying diplomacy and
bribery, and they assassinated him.
Alexander was the last of the Syrian
emperors. Under the influence of his mother, he did much to improve the morals
and condition of the people. His advisers were men like the famous jurist
Ulpian, the historian Cassius Dio and a select board of sixteen senators; a
municipal council of fourteen assisted the urban praefect in administering the
affairs of the fourteen districts of Rome. The luxury and extravagance that had
formerly been so prevalent at the court were put down; the standard of the
coinage was raised; taxes were lightened; literature, art and science were
encouraged; the lot of the soldiers was improved; and, for the convenience of
the people, loan offices were instituted for lending money at a moderate rate of
interest.
