Bust of Emperor Caracalla, based on an 18th-century Italian sculpture. Private collection.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Caracalla (188–217 AD), son of Septimius Severus, with whom he was co-emperor. Upon his father’s death in 211, he briefly governed alongside his brother Geta, until Geta was assassinated by the Praetorians, allegedly on Caracalla’s orders. His reign was marked by internal instability and wars with Germanic peoples and the Parthians. Caracalla traveled the empire on successive military campaigns, leaving administrative tasks to his mother, Julia Domna. After his assassination by one of his soldiers, Macrinus was proclaimed emperor.
During his rule, he enacted the Constitutio Antoniniana or Edict of Caracalla, which granted Roman citizenship to all free men of the Empire.
The Baths of Caracalla were the second-largest public baths built in the Roman Empire. In addition to baths, steam rooms, and pools, the complex included gardens, libraries, a stadium, and other facilities. Today, its ruins are among the most visited monuments in Rome.
