Severianus was the young son of Severus, a child of approximately eight years whose brief life ended tragically through execution by Licinius. His story represents the innocent casualties caught in the brutal succession struggles of the late Roman Empire, where even the children of emperors and their rivals were not spared from political violence.
Description
A young boy of approximately eight years with a child build and youthful innocent appearance. His small stature and tender age mark him as a child still in the early years of development.
