Nobody's perfect, and the worst error is to pretend one doesn't make any. The remark was perfectly justified, and SPQR was humble enough to admit it. Which goes to show he's an excellent educator.

Caracalla, like his father, is a fascinating character. In his personal life, he was a monster of iniquity on the level of Commodus and inherited the Empire at its greatest relative strength to crumbling Parthia. Yet, he made some of the most lasting contributions to Roman society with the Antonine Constitution, the construction of the Baths that bear his name, and the introduction of new debased currency. It is quite ironic that his Edict granting citizenship to all free men in the Empire gave them all the praenomen and gens of "Marcus Aurelius", who was so unlike Caracalla. Many of the later emperors of the Crisis period who rose up through the army were named "Marcus Aurelius" because their peasant parents had been given the name under the Edict. Even Charlemagne, nearly 550 years later, claimed his right to rule as Roman Emperor was due being born within the Roman realm as a free man and thus being a citizen based on Caracalla's edict.

He could have secured Armenia for the empire but decided not to. He could have secured long-lasting peace with Parthia but decided not to Et Cetera.

This series on the Roman Emperors is an admirable feat, especially having it done well like this. When Caracalla declared a "Damnatio Memoria" on Geta, certain Roman provinces had coins that were previously minted with both heads of Caracalla and Geta facing each other on them. These coins are found with the face of Geta removed, as if it was scooped right out. I suspect that these were mainly provinces that Caracalla had been campaigning through. The Imperial coinage was not erased, and in fact, there are large amounts of coins of Geta that still survive. A small correction: the "EID MAR" IIdes of March) coin of Brutus is an aureus not a denarius, there were however denari of the same type minted. A denarius is silver, an aureus is gold. I hope that Julia Domna (and the other Julia's) gets an episode, she was an amazing person.

People even say our fraternal bond is as strong as Caligula and Drusilla's one...but removing the incestous part, of course" Geta: "HAHAHAHAHA. Yeah. Anyway, I think you and I are so close and compenetrated, we can be even considered as a "single being", like Caligula and Drusilla, don't you think, brother?" Caracalla: "That's right, Geta.

I did a book about the Severan Dyansty , and I have a few notes I hope they don't upset you: first Herodian of Syria or of Antioch is technically a Syrian but wrote in Greek , maybe ethnically he is a Greek or from a Hellenized family , but that does not mean he is not a Syrian as Syria contain a large group of Greeks and Greeks are part of the wider Syrian nationality , it is important because Herodian him self born in the region of Syria which the Severan Dynasty mostly came from (just like Lucian of Samsota he is a Syrian and his native tongue is Aramaic yet many neo- historians considered him a Greek because he wrote in Greek) and this is sad truly with all do respect to our great Greek friends " I speak Greek myself so I have no hard feeling towards them and I lean towards Greek culture". the 2nd note is about Julia Domna she officially ruled the Empire while Caracalla spent his time with his fellow soldiers , most of the laws "he" initiated done by his mother's name , I understand the scoop of this videos is about the male King but in the case of Severan Dynasty the mothers ruled over , and wheeled much of the power , the Severan Dynasty was a golden era for the Syrians in general because much of the government officials appointed from Syria or the Levant and upgrade the region for economic political and militarily reasons , but the empire sadly collapsed after Alxian's death (Alexander Severus but he preferred his native Aramaic name Alexian) , and I believe Alexian reign was the best if we exempt Septimius certainly. otherwise your series it's absolutely fabulous and each Emperor deserve much more and you are doing a fantastic summary keep it going I love what are you doing , you are not just a YT channel you are source we can teach and take information from.

That something so consequential as the Constitutio Antoniniana was issued by Caracalla, of all people, raises some important questions about him. Cassius Dio did his best to attribute the edict to base motives, and either minimized its significance, or genuinely believed it to be less significant than it might appear. Perhaps it wasn't such a big step after all, considering how integrated the Empire already was by that point. But if not a major innovation, it indicates a far deeper understanding of his empire than would be expected of the one-dimensional personification of grandiosity and wrath that Caracalla was depicted as. He at least had to sign off on it, even if his jurists did all the work.

We would definitely want to get a video on Emperor Constantine who made the most significant changes from paganism to Christianity.

Caracalla and Caligula must have been roommates and the School For Deranged Future Emporers. Tiberias was the dean.

How in the world do we have the story of Caracalla going to Alexandria and having all those boys and their families/friends slaughtered after singing their praises, but not know why he was there or what happened?

Weird you used Lincoln as an example of modern coinage considering he has been dead almost 160 years. His face doesn't give a person in the future any idea of the time of the coin. The date does.
