Emperor Septimius Severus (146-211). Severan dynasty. Bust, c. 204 AD. Marble. National Archaeological Museum. Naples. Italy.

Macrinus (165-218) was a skilled lawyer serving under Emperor Septimius Severus, before Severus' son and successor Caracalla appointed him to prefect of the Praetorian Guard. He enjoyed the trust and protection of Caracalla, until a prophecy claimed that Macrinus would depose and succeed the emperor. Fearing for his life, Macrinus plotted to have Caracalla murdered before he himself was condemned to death. Manipulating a soldier into murdering Caracalla, Macrinus became emperor in 217, the first Roman emperor not to have hailed from the senatorial class, as well as being the first Mauretanian emperor. He ruled jointly with his young son Diadumenianus, and his first acts as emperor were to try and bring diplomatic and economic stability to an empire that had been dragged into war with several kingdoms by his predecessors. At a heavy cost to the Empire's coffers, Macrinus peacefully resolved many of the wars Rome was embroiled in, but the changes and monetary costs made him enemies in th

Martinian (-325), also known as Sextus Martinianus, was co-emperor with Licinius. Very little of his past his known aside from serving as a magister at Licinius' court. He was appointed to co-emperor in 324, when Licinius' civil war with Constantine I was at its height. Martinian was sent with an army of Visigothic auxiliaries to prevent Constantine from entering Asia Minor, but was later recalled when Constantine's armies managed to bypass Martinian's forces. It was not known if Martinian managed to reinforce Licinius in time for his defeat at the Battle of Chrysopolis in 324. Due to the intervention of Constantia, Licinius' wife and Constantine's sister, both Licinius and Martinian were initially spared, with Martinian being imprisoned in Cappadocia. Both Licinius and Martinian were executed a year later however, on the orders of Constantine.

Constantine I (272-337), also known as Constantine the Great and Saint Constantine, was the son of Emperor Constantius. His father sent him east to serve under Emperors Diocletian and Galerius, spending some time in the court of the latter. After his father died in 306, Constantine was proclaimed his successor and emperor by his army at Ebocarum (York). He at first remained officially neutral in the efforts of Emperor Galerius to defeat the usurper Maxentius, but after Galerius' death, Constantine was eventually dragged into the conflict. He eventually defeated Maxentius in 312, and then fought against his erstwhile ally, Emperor Licinius, for sole control of both western and eastern portions of the Roman Empire. Licinius was defeated in 324, and Constantine became emperor of a united empire. Constantine enacted many reforms strengthening the empire, ending the tetrarchy system and restructuring government. He became the first emperor to claim conversion to Christianity, and he called

Marble bust of Herodotos 2nd century A.D. Roman Copy of a Greek bronze statue of the first half of the fourth century B.C.Herodotos (ca. 484-424 B.C.) of Halikarnassos achieved fame in his lifetime for his Histories, which chronicle the Greek wars with Persia in the first quarter of the fifth century B.C. and the years surrounding those momentous events. His most brilliant and original accomplishment was his conception of a narrative that interweaves local traditions in a span of more than seventy years and encompasses much of the world known to the ancient Greeks through fact and fiction. Cicero called him the father of history. This work is one of numerous extant Roman copies that stem from a Greek statue, probably of the first half of the fourth century B.C.
