Episode Synopsis
On this episode of *Dave Does History*, we turn our gaze to ancient Rome and the stormy life of Emperor Caracalla—warrior, builder, butcher, and the man behind one of the bloodiest family feuds in imperial history.
Born into power and raised on ambition, Caracalla ruled an empire with a sword in one hand and a scowl carved into marble. From the grandeur of the Baths of Caracalla to the chilling murder of his own brother, this episode dives into the legacy of a ruler both feared and fascinating.
