XVIII. Антонин по прозванию Каракалла, сын Севера (царствовал 7 лет)

Machine translation from the original · Show original
IX Bishop Asklepiades is appointed to Antioch. Alexander was ordained bishop of Jerusalem by ΧΧΧV during the life of Narcissus and ruled the church together with him. Antoninus Caracalla was nicknamed so from the type of clothing that he distributed in Rome 19 and vice versa, the Caracallas were named after him as Antonians. Antoninus built his own baths in Rome. Antonin was so unbridled in voluptuousness that he married his stepmother Julia. Antoninus was killed between Edessa and Carrhae at the age of 43. We translate the chronicle of Eusebius according to Jerome’s account, starting only from the Nativity of Christ, bearing in mind theological and church-historical interest, which the previous part of the chronicle does not represent. On the same basis, we consider it possible to omit in the translation the chronological indication of the years from Abraham, according to the Olympiads and according to the years of the reign of the kings of Judah (before the destruction of Jerusalem) and limit ourselves to Christian chronology. Asterisks indicate testimony of dubious authenticity that is found in all lists of the chronicle according to the presentation of the bl. Jerome. Note Editorials. Caracalla is an underwear dress similar to the Greek chiton and Roman tunic. You might be interested in:
