A bust of Caracalla.

Caracalla (Latin: Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Augustus) was one of the cruelest rulers of the ancient rome.

Although he had many projects contributing to the roman society, notably the baths of caracalla, his misdeeds overwhelm the amount of goods he had done.

He murdered his own brother and his followers, and claimed that his brother tried to killed him first, so he kileld him in self defence.

Once, the citizens of alexandria mocked him with a public play, when caracalla heard about it, he flew into a rage. Travelling with an army to alexandria, he invited the citizens to the city square, where roughly 20000 of them were killed, and their city burned and looted.

Caracalla was probably the cousin of the emperor elagabalus.

-'''Caracalla''' (Latin:'' Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Augustus'') was one of the most brutal rulers of the ancient roman empire. Although he commissioned one of the city’s greatest building projects, and extended citizenship throughout the empire, Caracalla’s bloodletting overshadows all he accomplished. He killed his brother, Geta and executed, probably thousands of alexandrians which include innocent bystanders and executed the rich and confiscated their property, just to keep them in line. Caracalla was killed by his personal bodyguard while urinating on a road on 8 April, 217AD.
