  • Caracalla's troops massacre the population of Alexandria, Egypt,[5] beginning with the leading citizens. The emperor was angry about a satire, produced in Alexandria, mocking his claim that he killed Geta in self-defense.
  • A coin, the Antoninianus, is introduced.[6][7] The weight of this coin is a mere 1/50 of a pound. Copper disappears gradually, and by the middle of the third century, with Rome's economy in crisis, the Antonianus will be the only official currency.
