027a. CaracallaCaesar 195 (or 196) - 198.
Co-Augustus with Septimius Severus 28 January 198- 4 February 211.
Co-Augustus with Geta 4 February 211 - 26 December 211
Sole Augustus 26 December 211 - 8 April 217

Originally named Septimius Bassianus, then, after the Severans self-adopting into the Antoninan family, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus; nicknamed Caracalla for cloak he wore. Once Severus died, Caracalla had his brother Geta killed, followed by a massacre of anyone associated with Geta. He became noted for ruling brutally. Spent much of his reign campaigning, He gave Roman citizenship to all free men in the Empire. He introduced a new coin denomination that is now called the antoninianus (although what the Romans called it is not known). Although he was supported strongly by the army, he was killed by a disaffected soldier.

030a. ElagabalusAugustus 16 May 218 - 11 March 222

Actual name Varius Avitus Bassianus, then Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. Nicknamed Elagabalus because he was the high priest of Elagabal, the sun god of Emesa, Syria. His grandmother claimed he was the illegitimate son of Caracalla, who remained popular with army. Elagabalus’s forces prevailed, and he was declared emperor in 218 at the age of 14 or 15. His reign became notorious due to his efforts to supplant the Roman gods and to his sexual antics. He and his mother were killed in 222, and their bodies dumped in the Tiber.

Geta~1.jpg
028a. GetaCaesar 198 - 209
Co-Augustus (under Septimius Severus) 209 - 211
Co-Augustus (with Caracalla) 211

Killed by forces of his brother Caracalla. Legend has it that he died in his mother's arms. After his death, Caracalla conducted a purge of Geta's supporters, killing thousands; although perhaps exaggerated, Cassius Dio claims 20,000 were killed. Although historians generally treat Geta as an innocent victim, the enmity between him and his brother suggests that it might have been a matter of who eliminated whom first.
