February 16, 307 AD: Death of the Western emperor Flavius Valerius Severus (or Severus II). After Severus moved from Mediolanum (Milan) to Rome to suppress the revolt of Maxentius, his troops deserted to their old commander Maximian, father of Maxentius, who had come back from retirement. Severus surrendered at Ravenna to save his life, but was forced to commit suicide anyway when Galerius invaded Italy.
