Increasing friction between Severus and his rival-turned-heir …
Years: 196 - 196
Increasing friction between Severus and his rival-turned-heir Clodius Albinus had culminated in the latter’s reiterating his imperial claim.
Albinus had crossed with his legions to Gaul in early 195 and settled with his army near Lugdunum, where he has had himself proclaimed Augustus and makes plans to counter Severus.
Under his control, the Lugdunum mint issues coins celebrating his "clemency", as well as one dedicated to the "Genius of Lugdunum."
He is joined by an army under Lucius Novius Rufus, the governor of Hispania Tarraconensis.
They successfully attack the German troops of Virius Lupus, Legatus of one of the German provinces, but were unable to deter them from supporting Severus.
