Overview
This article responds to a recent publication in the Journal of Black Studies regarding the emperor Caracalla, who ruled the Roman Empire between AD 211 and 217, following the murder of his younger brother, Geta. In addition to offering an exploration of his career, the recent essay attempts to investigate the importance of Caracalla's African heritage to the historical portrait of him that survives into modernity, claiming that both ancient sources and modern scholars have downplayed the emperor's origin and ancestry. Unfortunately, the publication is beset by factual errors that serve to undermine its case. This article addresses these shortcomings and attempts to explain the scholarly approach to Caracalla's ethnicity, showing that there was some recognition of Caracalla's African roots, even in antiquity. Furthermore, this article considers the question of modern Africa's relationship with the emperor, noting the symbolism of the Severan family within Libya under the dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
