The Roman Empire is divided into several divisions, initially called the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
The name comes from the fact that the Julia and Claudius people succeeded to the throne of the Roman Empire.
Although less common, the era of Severus Septimius and Karakala is sometimes called the Severus dynasty.
Macrinus is introduced this time by the emperor after the assassination of Emperor Caracalla and the severance of the Severus dynasty, but his reign ends in an instant ...
The emperor who reigned for only one year
Emperor Caracalla was assassinated during the Parthian expedition. He had only 29 years of life. It also killed his mother Julia Domna.
How did you feel when you chose to commit suicide before his two sons?
It can be said that it is the most desperate way of suicide in world history.
Upon learning of the assassination of Emperor Karakala, Parthian embarked on an invasion of Roman territory.
The Roman side in a hurry chose Macrinus as the next emperor.
Rather than choosing, it may be more correct to assassinate Karakala in order to become the emperor himself.
It was the Guards who assassinated Karakala, and Macrinus was the secretary of the Guards.
Overwhelmingly more Roman emperors have been killed by the Imperial Guard or the Senate than by their enemies.
Macrinus has ostensibly announced that Karakara is a natural death and has even issued a resolution to deify Karakara. Despite his lifelong tyranny, Karakara was able to become a god. There is a big difference from the tyrants who have been sentenced to erase records.
Macrinus itself was born in North Africa and seems to have come from the Moore tribe. He is the first Moorish emperor and the first emperor, 53, who is not a senator.
He is one of the military emperors following Severus.
Since there was no opposition from the Senate to the coronation of Macrinus, it can be said that the Senate was no longer functioning at this time.
It is similar to the composition of the Empire of Japan, which the Army took control of.
However, Macrinus ostensibly respected the Senate and stated that he would take over the political line of Emperor Aurelius.
So the emperor's name for Macrinus is the long name Marx Opellius Severus Macrinus Augustus.
Parthian deprives territory
Macrinus has no credit.
He signed a peace with Parthian and decided to withdraw from Mesopotamia.
The land of Mesopotamia was desperately acquired by Emperor Aurelius and Emperor Severus, and at a considerable cost.
For the time being, Macrinus fought against Parthia. The first race was Parthian's advantage, the next race was Rome's advantage, but the third race was not held and the peace was concluded.
The content of the peace is the withdrawal of the Roman army from Mesopotamia.
The Roman citizens, the Senate, and the soldiers were all angry at this.
Rome does not accept peace other than winning and tying.
Macrinus, who is not a genuine Roman citizen in a sense, may not have understood the weight of the tradition.
Soldier disappointment and assassination of the emperor
The soldiers made Macrinus the emperor, probably because of the hated Parthian overthrow. However, the emperor gave up the glory of Rome without permission.
You can change the emperor.
The soldiers rejoiced in the birth of a new emperor.
The name of the new emperor is Elagabalus.
The son of Julia Mesa, the sister of Julia Domna, the mother of Caracalla and the queen of Severus.
Abandoned by the soldiers, Macrinus escaped from the battlefield. He was running away as a postman guard, but he was easily found and forced to larabai from the world.
His reign lasted only a year.
The next generation will shift to an era called the crisis of the 3rd century.
