Ab excessu divid Marci
Heriodianus
While Severus was just standing there the horse got down under him and carried him off on its back without mishap, until it stood right in the middle of the Forum, where it held him up on high for everyone to see and honour. Today there is still a huge bronze statue on that spot to commemorate the dream.
