<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 3302464, member: 38412&quot;]Some Roman Emperors had nicknames. For instance we have Elagabalus or Helio Gabalus (worshiper of the Sun) though his imperial name was Marcus Antoninus.</p><p>The same reason applies to Caracalla, but I don&#039;t know here if this nickname is related to the murder of his brother. I searched in many references but without a clue. There are also other reasons for the names applied to the Emperors, possibly by Historians, I modestly think, who wanted to avoid confusion. Maybe that&#039;s why we have Gallerius instead of Maximian, or Maximinus Thrax I, or Maximinus Daia II, etc.. We can also cite Empress Eudoxia, Eudocia, Licinia...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
