He returns to the Senate from retirement and asserts his influence on his son with the legions. When Severus reached Rome, most of his soldiers defected to Maxentius. Severus withdraws to Ravenna .
- Emperor Severus is defeated by the superior troops of Maxentius in Ravenna and surrenders.
- Summer: Emperor Galerius moves with another army to Rome, where the opposing emperor Maxentius is holed up. Again a large part of the soldiers defected to the usurper; Galerius has to withdraw.
