| The arch celebrated the Parthian victories of Septimius Severus and his sons Geta and Caracalla. |
|
| Found in the south-east palaestra or exercise court of the Baths of Caracalla in Rome in 1545, it was heavily restored and fitted out as a fountain by the Farnese. |
|
| When afterwards Severus declared openly his son Caracalla as successor, Albinus was hailed emperor by his troops and moved to Gallia. |
|
| Plautianus's daughter, Fulvia Plautilla, was married to Severus's son, Caracalla. |
|
| In January 205, Caracalla accused Plautianus for plotting to kill him and Severus. |
|
| Although his son Caracalla continued campaigning the following year, he soon settled for peace. |
|
| Upon his death in 211, Severus was deified by the Senate and succeeded by his sons, Caracalla and Geta, who were advised by his wife Julia Domna. |
|
| The Imperial court was based in York until at least AD211, in which year Severus died and was succeeded by his sons, Caracalla and Geta. |
|
| In that same year Caracalla had his brother, a youth, assassinated in his mother's arms, and may have murdered 20,000 of Geta's followers. |
|
| Caracalla was a cruel man, and was pursued by the guilt of his brother's murder. |
|
| The emperor Septimius Severus died at York while planning to renew hostilities, and these plans were abandoned by his son Caracalla. |
|
| Examples include the aqueducts of Rome, the Baths of Diocletian and the Baths of Caracalla, the basilicas and Colosseum. |
|
| The baths of Trajan, of Caracalla, and Diocletian all contained rooms determined to be libraries. |
|
| In 212, during the reign of Caracalla, Roman citizenship was granted to all freeborn inhabitants of the empire. |
|
| Caracalla was given the command of the army, while Geta received no command, but was responsible for purely civilian tasks. |
|
| According to Cassius Dio, the main reason Caracalla passed the law was to increase the number of people available to tax. |
|
| By the 3rd century the emperor Caracalla made a new division which lasted only a short time. |
|
| Nearby is the lush Villa Celimontana, close to the gardens surrounding the Baths of Caracalla. |
|
| In retribution Caracalla then led the Legio II Traiana Fortis against the Alemanni, who lost and were pacified for a time. |
|
| His son and successor, Caracalla, a great admirer, visited the tomb during his own reign. |
|
|
|
| Caracalla left with a punitive expedition, but by the following year his ailing father had died and he and his brother left the province to press their claim to the throne. |
|
| The emperor Trajan also admired Alexander, as did Nero and Caracalla. |
|
| Rome hosted the 1960 Summer Olympics, with great success, using many ancient sites such as the Villa Borghese and the Thermae of Caracalla as venues. |
|
| A report that a soothsayer had predicted that the Praetorian prefect Macrinus and his son were to rule over the empire was dutifully sent to Caracalla. |
|
| Upon the death of Severus, his sons Caracalla and Geta were made emperors. |
|
| Through much of his short reign Caracalla was known for unpredictable and arbitrary operations launched by surprise after a pretext of peace negotiations. |
|
| In 212 AD, by means of the edict known as the Constitutio Antoniniana, the emperor Caracalla extended citizenship to all freeborn inhabitants of the empire. |
|
| A punitive expedition led by Severus' son, Caracalla, was sent out with the purpose of slaughtering everyone it encountered from any of the northern tribes. |
|
| Later, under Caracalla, the praemia increased to 5,000 denarii. |
|
| Whether or not the Alemanni had been previously neutral, they were certainly further influenced by Caracalla to become thereafter notoriously implacable enemies of Rome. |
|
| It did not include the upper Main, but that is where Caracalla campaigned. |
