Pescennius Niger was the Roman governor of Syria who had been acclaimed Emperor by his troops, like Severus, following the death of Pertinax . Severus won decisively and Niger fled back to Antioch and was later killed while attempting to flee to Parthia. The victory was attributed by historians Herodian Book 3 and Cassius Dio Book 74 to the numerical advantage enjoyed by Severus 12 Roman legion legion s compared to six or nine for Niger, even though the latter had created a large supporting force of auxiliaries from amongst the client kingdoms and allies of the East. While this concluded hostilities on the field between the two rivals for control of the East, the city of Byzantium withstood a siege by Severan troops until 196, possibly on the hope that a third rival to the principate, the governor of Roman Britain Britain Clodius Albinus , nominally allied with Niger, would defeat Severus in the West.

Unreferenced date December 2006 The Payas River , in southern Anatolia near today s Turkey &mdash Syria border, is thought during recent modern times to be the famous Pinarus river of antiquity, where Alexander the Great defeated Darius III of Persia in the First Battle of Issus , and the likely site of the second and third battles of the same name down through time into the middle ages . This case is made by historians N.G.L. Hammond and A.M. Devine based on details in eye witness accounts of the First battle of Issus balanced against an examination of the riverine terrain on the narrow coastal strip, which may not have drastically changed since antiquity. Earlier thought had the Pinarus as today s Deli ay River , a similar and not distant stream, with surroundings which do not match up as well with certain source descriptions. Whilst historically important, the stream itself is not much more than an average brook a few meters across, running westerly from the steep mountains and foothills to the east.
