I larned in class the other day that there was a Roman governor of 
Britain by the name of Julius Severus who was in office around the 
year 135 CE, when he was sent to Judea by the emperor Hadrian to 
help put down the bar Kochba revolt.  Just a bit of trivia...I have 
no idea if (1) this has been covered before or (2) JKR ever heard of 
this guy.  But I have no doubt he had greasy hair and favored 
black...
