Historical Severus
I think some of you might like a look at the face of the 'real' Severus. This bust of Lucius Septimius Severus (145 - 211) can be found at the Roman-German Museum at Cologne, Germany.
Many of you may know that Machiavelli used this Roman emperor for his book 'The Prince', but he's certainly worth looking at from slightly different historical angle. The historic Severus was actually a very efficient and popular ruler.
