The ultimate "ends justify the means" emperor. His main flaw was being bloodthirsty. But it was also what brought stability to the empire in the long run. There's a reason why the Parthians no longer attacked Rome after Caracalla: He killed them. (the Sassanids would eventually come to power but it would take time to rebuild) Thus, the empire had roughly 15 years of peace before the crisis of the third century finally arrived in 235 AD. Thanks to the brutality of Caracalla and his father. Brutal times, brutal measures.
Biography
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (born Lucius Septimius Bassianus, 4 April 188 – 8 April 217), better known by his nickname Caracalla, was Roman emperor from 198 to 217 AD. He was a member of the Severan dynasty, the elder son of Emperor Septimius Severus and Empress Julia Domna. Proclaimed co-ruler by his father in 198, he reigned jointly with his brother Geta, co-emperor from 209, after their father's death in 211. His brother was murdered by the Praetorian Guard later that year under orders from Caracalla, who then reigned afterwards as sole ruler of the Roman Empire. Caracalla found administration to be mundane, leaving those responsibilities to his mother. Caracalla's reign featured domestic instability and external invasions by the Germanic peoples. Caracalla's reign became notable for the Antonine Constitution (Latin: Constitutio Antoniniana), also known as the Edict of Caracalla, which granted Roman citizenship to all free men throughout the Roman Empire.
