 << I find it interesting that Severus and Lucius are named after  
the same person: Lucius Septimius Severus, a Roman Emperor who died 
in York.
Here's an interesting quote about him:
  
He ruled with vigor and, when he found it useful, a calculated 
cruelty. Caracalla succeeded him.

<< But have you taken into account that he is a seventh child? Has 
this any bearing on our greasy-haired friend? >>

Pedantic Sigune:
IS he a seventh child? I thought he was the child of a seventh child -
 his name is SeptimIus, not Septimus. Does that make any sense?
In any case, Septimius being the middle name, I think that it is his 
gensnomen, so all his family would be called Septimius; his given 
name is Lucius and his cognomen or nickname is Severus. At least that 
is what I seem to remember from school.

I guess I'm straying way off topic. Sorry! Just couldn't resist...

Yours severely,
Sigune
