Septimius or Septiminus was a Roman usurper proclaimed emperor in 271, in Dalmatia, during Emperor Aurelian's reign. His revolt soon petered out, when the menace of a Gothic invasion faded out, and Septimius was killed by his own troops.
Famous quotes containing the word emperor:
“The greater the privilege, the more hidden the arrogance. The Emperor of China need not exist.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
