Romeâs sprawling empire was starting to unravel, and it took a disciplined emperor-warrior like this African to keep it together. Severusâ victories on the frontier earned him a grand triumphal arch in the Forum, but here he seems to be rolling his eyes at the chaos growing around him.
⢠Near Severus is his son...
Caracalla (ruled A.D. 211-217)
The stubbly beard, cruel frown, and glaring eyes tell us that Severusâ son was bad news. He murdered his little brother to seize power, then proceeded to massacre thousands of loyal citizens on a whim. The army came to distrust rulers whose personal agenda got in their way, and Caracalla was stabbed in the back by a man whose brother had just been executed. Romeâs long slide had begun.
