188-217 AD
The son of the Emperor Septimus
Severus, Caracalla was the second emperor of the Severan dynasty which arose
from the ashes of the Antonines. At first, power was shared jointly with his
brother, Geta, whom he soon murdered. The purges that followed left him unpopular
with virtually all but the army. He is most famous for the grand bath
complex he built in Rome. At the age of twenty-nine he was murdered by members
of his bodyguard while on campaign in the East.
