Just on a lighter note regarding the incident with Severus & the ‘black soldier' I remember Gillian Bradshaw wrote a humorous novel called ‘Dark North' set in Roman Britain where the protagonist Memmon is the ‘black' soldier involved in this incident. In the novel he was made a slave as a boy to a benevolent Moorish master & discovered he had a knack for scouting, fighting & riding. Joining the Moorish cavalry which transferred to Britain the book covers his various adventures culminating in the fateful meeting with Severus. Quite a good read.
