Research Notes

Is the correct Severus for the following entry from Nennius?

"Severus was the third emperor who passed the sea to Britain, where, to protect the proviones recovered from barfbaric incursions, hew ordered a wall and a rampart to be made betwen the Britons the Scots, the Picts, extending across the island from sea to sea, in length one hundred and thirty three miles: and it is called in the British language Gwal. Moreover, he ordered it to be made between the Britons, and the Picts and Scots, for the Scots from the west, and the Picts from the north, unanimously made war gainst the Britons, but were at peace among themselves. Not long after Severus dies in Britain. [1]
