Description

Macrinus was the Praetorian prefect during the reign of the murderous Caracalla. Macrinus arranged Caracalla ‘s assassination and he and his son Diadumenian seized power and were accepted by the senate. Macrinus concluded an unfavorable peace with the Persians.

He fled, only to be betrayed and executed.
