so what's the final verdict on severan dynasty?
A major step in the browning of Europe. Septimius was the Obama of Rome.
>>16600114what about caracala and geta? they were both white
>>16600120I can't speak for his skin tone, but Caracalla had the most unambiguously non-European phenotype of anyone to ever rule Rome. He was a mutt who looked like a straight up mulatto.
>>16600120>caracalaThe single worst emperor in terms of moral character. A complete savage. But I'm sure some muh might makes right contrarians here will defend him.
>>16600129>The single worst emperor in terms of moral character.what about elagabalus? he was also part of severan dynasty, and he was complete degenerate
>>16600128he doesn't have negroid facial features
>>16600190*she
>>16600190oh yes, definitely, but still less psychotically murderous, which puts him above his cousin.I'll defend Severus Alexander btw, he was a good kid, just too much of a momma's boy, which cost him his head. But he had potential.
>>16600200still xir is considered as a worst roman emperor
>>16600205so in the end Severus Alexander could be considered as the only decent Severan Augustus?
>>16600210I'd say so, he came closest to being a good one. He just wasn't cut out for the time he lived in.
>>16600244still, we can't overlook expansions made by caracalla and septimius severus
>>16600252I'll always put stabilization and good leadership over expansion. A bunch of extra square miles of dirt don't outweigh the currency debasement that would come around to fuck the empire in the ass.
>>16600262i think inflation got really bad under thrax.
>>16600274I don't think the Romans ever really figured that one out. Not even Diocletian did.
>>16600278didn't Titus figured it out?
>>16600252Caracalla didn't do shit
