Caracalla: Roman Emperor 198-217 AD. His brother Geta was co-emperor from 209 AD, but was murdered after the death of their father Septimus Severus (211 AD). His mother Julia Domna played a prominent public role and took on administrative tasks that Caracalla found too mundane.
His reign is notable for the Edict of Caracalla, granting Roman citizenship to all free men throughout the Roman Empire, but he is mostly remembered as a cruel tyrant.
