Also known as Marcus Opellius Severus Macrinus Augustus

Marcus Opellius Macrinus (; – June 218) was a Roman emperor who reigned from April 217 to June 218, jointly with his young son Diadumenianus. Born in Caesarea (now called Cherchell, in modern Algeria), in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis to an equestrian family of Berber origins, he became the first emperor who did not hail from the senatorial class and also the first emperor who never visited Rome during his reign. Before becoming emperor, Macrinus served under Emperor Caracalla as a praetorian prefect and dealt with Rome's civil affairs. He later conspired against Caracalla and

OverviewAI-generated

Macrinus, whose full name was Marcus Opellius Macrinus, was a male politician and lawyer from Ancient Rome. Born in 165 in Cherchell, he held the positions of Roman emperor and Praetorian prefect. He was a member of the Severan dynasty and practiced ancient Roman religion. His wife was Nonia Celsa, and he had a son named Diadumenian.

Macrinus died in 218 in Cappadocia. His manner of death was homicide and capital punishment. He is described in the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary. Note that the facts also list a separate author named Joannes Salmonius Macrinus (1490–1557), but this appears to be a distinct individual from the Roman emperor.
