Some have derived the name of Montribloud from Mons terribilis (terrible mount) as the site of a battle in 197 BC between Clodius Albinus and Septimius Severus to become Roman Emperor.
Despite this, Albinus kept his command until after the murders of Commodus and his successor Pertinax in 193.
Alternatively, many historians link the building of London Wall with the political crisis that had emerged in the 190s when two men – Septimius Severus, and the governor of Britain Clodius Albinus – claimed the right to succession as emperor.

The Battle of Lugdunum, also called the Battle of Lyon, was fought on 19 February 197 at Lugdunum (modern Lyon, France), between the armies of the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus and of the Roman usurper Clodius Albinus.
