Listen "Episode CXVII – Disgraced Human Nature (Caracalla V)"
Episode Synopsis
The historian Edward Gibbon perhaps summed up Caracalla quite succinctly, when he used this phrase to describe his demise while answering a call of nature on the side of the road: "Such was the end of a monster whose life disgraced human nature, and whose reign accused the patience of the Romans."
