'''Macrinus''' was Emperor of [[Rome]] from 217 - 218 A.D succeeding [[Caracalla]] after he was assasinated. Previously the praefect of the [[Praetorian guard]], the protector of the Emperor, it is questioned whether or not he had a role in the murder of Caracalla. Nevertheless he became Emperor by self appointment and was later confirmed by the senate. The military gains that Caracallas made against the [[Parthia|Parthian Empire]] were lost. When Macrinus tried to reduce the pay of the troops, a rival Emperor, [[Elagabalus]] was found who had the bloodline of [[Severus]]. Even though he was only a boy, powerful forces rallied around him. In a quick conflict, Macrinus was defeated and killed and Elagabalus took his place as Emperor.
