Diadumenian, Mid May - 8 June 218 A.D.
|Diadumenian|, |Diadumenian,| |Mid| |May| |-| |8| |June| |218| |A.D.|, Macrinus was the first emperor who was not of Senatorial rank, his birth was obscure, and he had never distinguished himself in any matter of public service. Rumors soon spread that he was born a slave, was trained as gladiator, and was complicit in Caracalla's murder. Doomed from the moment his father took the purple, Diadumenian paid with his life for his father's hubris.
