More information :
Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander, commonly known as Alexander Severus, was Roman Emperor from 222 to 235. He was the last emperor of the Severan dynasty.
Alexander was the last of the Syrian emperors.
As emperor, Alexander's peace time reign was prosperous. 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 engaging in diplomacy and bribery, and they assassinated him.
