Severus Alexander, also called Alexander Severus, in full Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander, original name Gessius Bassianus Alexianus or Alexianus Bassianus, (born 209, Phoenicia [now in Lebanon]—died 235, Gaul), Roman emperor from AD 222 to 235, whose weak rule collapsed in the civil strife that engulfed the empire for the next 50 years. His maternal grandmother, Julia Maesa, was a sister-in-law of the emperor Septimius Severus (reigned 193–211).
