The Roman Empire: Difference between revisions

Line 120:

** Caracalla (198 - 217): Expanded Roman citizenship to all free people throughout the empire. Whatever ruling ability he may have had was utterly overwhelmed by his extreme paranoia, which counted among its victims his brother and co-ruler Geta and the citizens of Alexandria. Assasinated by a soldier.

** Macrinus (217 - 218): First non-senator to become emperor, had Caracalla killed [[Properly Paranoid|before the other way round would've happened.]]

** Elagabalus (218 - 222): [[Camp Gay]] at a time when [[Straight Gay]] or [[Bi the Way]] was the norm (some even claim him to be a [[~~Transsexual~~]]), he was so flamboyant that it led to his early demise. Of course, he also made no friends by replacing the traditional Roman gods with new gods from the east. Assassinated by the Praetorian Guard.

** Alexander Severus (222 - 235): Elagabalus' cousin. Did his best, but was somewhat [[Momma's Boy|dominated by his]] [[My Beloved Smother|mother]]. Also assassinated, which meanwhile had become common in Rome.
