Duncan with Arch of Septimius Severus. The arch was built to Severus and his sons, Caracalla and Geta, to celebrate their victory over the Parthians and the consequent expansion of the Empire. Severus was a North African. Caracalla eventually killed his brother (who was in the arms of his mother). He ultimately became one of the cruelest emperors, conducting several massacres and exiling his wife. He had Geta's name removed from all the monuments, including this one, so that the people would forget him. |
