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, geta and his wife, as well as his followers, and claimed that his brother tried to killed him first, so he killed him in self defence. He also forbade his mother to shed a tear over that.
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.
