Septimius Severus

What are the most important points of the life of Septimius Severus?
I am doing a one slide (powerpoint) project for history of Septimius Severus. I’m working on mine, but am having trouble choosing which points to include and which ones to leave out. This to my question: What are the most important points of the life of Septimius Severus? Thank you so must for you time! It means a lot! <3
Around the year 175 he married Paccia Marciana, who seems also to have been of African origin. The childless marriage lasted a decade or so until her death.
News of Pertinax’s assassination 28 March 193 in an uprising by the praetorian guard quickly reached Pannonia, and only twelve days later on 9 April 193, Severus was proclaimed emperor. Septimius Severus had the strong support of the armies along the Rhine and Danube, but the loyalty of the governor of Britain, Clodius Albinus, was in doubt. Severus’ envoys from Pannonia offered Albinus the title of Caesar, which he accepted.
In the city of Rome, Didius Julianus gained the support of the praetorian troops and was promoted as the successor to Pertinax. Although Julianus’ authority did not extend much beyond Italy, Severus understood that legitimacy for a Roman emperor meant having one’s authority accepted in Rome. He and his army began a swift march to the city. They met practically no resistance on their advance from Pannonia into northern Italy, as Julianus’ supporters defected. By the beginning of June when Severus reached Interamna, 50 miles north of Rome, even the praetorian guard stationed in the capital switched sides. Didius Julianus was declared a public enemy and killed. Septimius Severus entered Rome without a fight.
