      @Derren Aalis Christianity wasnt politically advantageous at the time though. It was growing rapidly (especially in the eastern half of the Empire where it was close to 40%--though Constantine only controlled the still very pagan west for most of his reign), but still definitely a minority. A lot of people point to the fact he was baptized on his deathbed as proof he was just using the religion politically, but that was actually common practice for converts at the time (confession hadnt taken its later form yet, so baptism was believed to be the only chance most got to have sins forgiven)
      He did a lot to politically integrate Christianity, but Christianity wasnt yet at the point where it *was* politically useful--especially not in the west. If there werent some element of true belief, it probably would have been the more politically advantageous to stick with Sol Invictus and just make the henotheistic element more emphasized

      @666666MetalHead Před 3 lety +97

      History Major here... If that even means something.
      Caracalla's granting of citizenship to everyone didn't fuck shit up in giving the Plebs "lack of incentive to join the military" (Plebeians were already Roman citizens anyway, and they would still have plenty of potential for social mobility and material gains by joining the army) as it was a solution for the lack of money in the Imperial coffers ; now everyone will get to pay taxes! It also emboldened this sense of Belonging in the entire Empire as a whole, as now everyone was equal(ly oppressed, fuck the Dominate) under Roman law, except the slaves of course.
      It still fucked shit up because the tax burdens ultimately fell upon the lower classes, the upper class just not giving a fuck about paying their fair share or even standard evergetism/philanthropy anymore as they were starting to take everything for granted. This led to further gaps between the lower and higher financial classes, and within the Cities themselves the housing blocks and neighbourhoods started being gentrified. More and more, city administrations were rigidified as they were losing their autonomy, more and more relying on the Roman Bureaucracy for their aedilitary constructions (Theatres, baths and the like) because of their populations' impoverishment.
      Meanwhile, despite the introduction of the Antoninus coin, silver and copper inflation was rising since Nerva's reign as the Emperors kept needing to debase the coins in order to pay an ever-hungrier military, direct "Client" to the Patron that is the Emperor.
      The Roman Empire was already bound to fall to these vices as Augustus claimed the Corona Civica and failed to meet the demands of the lower classes, instead reviving a Nationalism and the Mos Maiorum, ideologies and realities completely alien to the landless Proletariat's (in both the modern-day and ancient sense of the term) demands... Outside of the social mobility that the military provided, of course. It's a testament to their character that the Empire stood another 1500 years (at least for the Eastern side; the West fell to the barbarians and unsurprisingly everyone was happy *after the fact*) after the original issues were still left unanswered.

      @@americancaesar1830 Constantine was never given as a key reason in the fall of Rome, perhaps finishing the decline from Principate to Dominate and in that sense betraying the real glory of Rome, but that's definitely not the same. Julian the Apostate is the most chad because he could do it all, he was a consummate soldier and general, he was a great philosopher with a decent chunk of writings, one quite humorous and enlightening where he has most of the emperors of note brought before the gods and judged on their successes and failures; he recognized the value of Roman traditions in maintaining the empire and resisted Christian influence which was draining funds away from the borders and legions and towards churches who would give it to the most unproductive of the empire. I could write on and on, but he was the guy, and the way he died was tragic and truly inspiring, the column he was leading was attacked while withdrawing, instead of leaving his soldiers to die he hurried to the site of action, leaving his mail behind and suffering a mortal wound as a result. Instead of pleading and crying he spent his last day or two discussing philosophy with his friends and making plans as best he could for the future of the empire. Alas history would take a different course, to the detriment of the West at large.

    Random fun fact: the Severan dynasty (not counting Septimus Severus, the founder) is biologically descended from the Ptolemaic dynasty, specifically through one of Cleopatra VII's and Mark Antony's descendants.
    The two gave birth to 3 children, the notable one here being Cleopatra Selene II/Cleopatra VIII.
    She in turn gave birth to Ptolemy of Mauretania, who's descendant was Drusilla of Mauretania the Younger.
    Drusilla then gave birth to Gaius Julius Alexion/Alexion II, the father of Julius Bassianus.
    Julius Bassianus had two daughters, Julia Domna, who married Septimus Severus and gave birth to Caracalla and Geta (Geta had no offspring but Caracalla had a daughter with an unknown identity, so who knows what happened next on Julia Domna's side of the dynasty), and Julia Maesa, who gave birth to her own two daughters, Julia Avita Mamaea and Julia Soaemias
    .
    Julia Soaemias was the mother of the Roman Severan emperor Elagabalgus (who was also claimed to be an illegitimate son of Caracalla) but he had no known offsprings before his death.
    Elagabalgus was replaced with Severus Alexander, the son of Julia Soamesias' sister, Julia Avita Mamaea. Alexander didn't father any children either, so it ends here.

    I think Alexander Severus gets a bad rap in history, he was a young kid put on the throne completely against his will and with no training or experience. There are signs that he could have been a decent if unremarkable emperor, but only if his mother was taken out of the picture. If only Maximinus Thrax had just killed Julia Mamaea, and forced Alexander Severus to make him Co-Augustus, the Crisis of the Third Century may have been averted or at least lessened.

      @@tsonobi Nothing remotely similar to impeachment existed in the Roman Empire, it was somewhere between a monarchy and a military dictatorship. He abdicated to try and start the Tetrarchic succession with a smooth transition. It ended up being a disaster, many wanted him to come back as emperor, and he declined since he enjoyed tending his cabbages too much.
      Even in the Republic, nothing like impeachment existed. If it did, Marius and Caesar would have never been problems for the Senate. If one held consulship, proconsulship, or any other position that gave them imperium, they had complete immunity from any sort of trial or prosecution until their term ended
