His illness fatal, Severus withdraws to Eboracum.
He is famously said to have given the advice to his sons: "Be harmonious, enrich the soldiers, and scorn all other men" before he died on February 4, 211.
Caracalla attempts to take over command but when his troops refuse to recognize him as emperor, he makes peace with the Caledonians and retreats south of Hadrian's Wall to press his claim for the throne.
The Romans will never campaign deep into Caledonia again: they will soon withdraw south permanently to Hadrian's Wall.
