I came upon a video about the last years of the Emperor Septum Severus, which were spent in part in Eboracum, now York. This was following his move to Britannia in 208 and the city where he died and was cremated in 211. The suggestion by the video that his cremation site is still identifiable was new to me.
Wikipedia has a useful account of his life, and also quotes a contemporary account of his funeral ceremonies, at Septimius Severus
