The Emperor Who Got Struck by Lightning - Emperor Carus #40 Roman History Documentary Series
Marcus Aurelius Carus was a Roman emperor who reigned from 282 to 283. He is remembered for the final suppression of the authority of the Senate, declining to accept their ratification of his election and informing them haughtily. Carus fought against the Germanic tribes and declined the restoration of the senate's authority, marking the end of the Crisis of the Third Century. He was the last emperor to have united a civil with a military education. His reign was short, and he died in July or August 283. After his death, his sons Carinus and Numerian succeeded him, with Carinus being known for his indulgence in extravagance and excess, and his memory was officially condemned in the Roman procedure known as damnatio memoriae.

    When you said he liked boys, you put a picture of a young child. This is incorrect. In greco-roman sources the use of boys means teenagers, not children. He liked teenagers and young men, like actors and dancers. But looking at the picture looks like he was a pedophile.

    Edward Gibbon says that Probus was slain by his own soldiers and then the army nominated Carus to the throne. You said that Crasus was nominated and then Probus was slained. Can you help me reconcile that?

    Defats the Goths,defeats Zenobia and brings the eastern provinces back under Rome.Then defeats Tetricus bringing the Gallic empire back into the fold. And his reward/ assasination..He may have saved the empire,but that didn't save his own life.

    Someone from North Africa today would not be black, and Severus was only half Punic. Claiming that he's black is toying with history for political reasons. It's akin to the idea that St. George was Turkish because he was born in Anatolia.

    Most likely he was sick, but was getting better and informed his generals of the upcoming campaign once he was on his feet. Then assassinated by generals who wanted to return home, used "lightning" to cover it up, burned the evidence by torching his tent. It's fairly obvious what happened based on the actions of the army directly after his death.

    9:42 This version makes no sense. Thrax was nearly killed by archers loyal to the true (deceased) emperor, Severus Alexander, precisely because the young Severus was very popular. Unlike Maximinius Thrax, who ended up assassinated. It's more plausible that Thrax had Severus Alexander murdered by centurions bribed by him, and then blamed the army for the plot to make it look to the Senate as if his hands were clean. 🦁 ☀️ 🐝 ⚡ 🦅 ⚡ 🐝 ☀️ 🦁

    Probably the main reason for the Romans seizing the Iceni's land was that Prasutagus had supposedly taken huge loans from Roman aristocrats. Lending money to tribal people at extortionate rates to gain control of their lands was a standard Roman tactic. The precise details are unknown other than that Seneca was one of the creditors
