Historical Curiosities 

Caracalla was Roman emperor from 198 to 217 AD. He is remembered for his controversial and often cruel character. 

One of his most enduring achievements was the Edict of Caracalla (Constitutio Antoniniana) of 212 AD, by which he granted Roman citizenship to all free men within the Empire, an act that had profound social and economic implications.

Caracalla is also known for commissioning the famous Baths of Caracalla in Rome, one of the grandest thermal complexes of antiquity, equipped with pools, gyms, and libraries, designed to accommodate thousands of citizens and offer a place of leisure and wellness. This complex testifies to his ambition and desire to leave a lasting mark in the history of Rome.

However, Caracalla is also remembered for his brutality. It is said that he killed his brother Geta, with whom he was supposed to share power, and fiercely persecuted his detractors, thus earning the reputation of a ruthless emperor. He became a feared and hated figure, and his life ended tragically: he was assassinated by his own soldiers during a military campaign in the East.
