Question

He was the son of the previous emperor Septimius. He co-ruled withs his father until his death, and that ruled with his brother until he had him murdered. He made an edict that stated all freeman around the empire were granted citizenship and issued another edict that allowed the worship of christianity. He was killed by his own bodyguard while traveling to Parthia.

Answer 1

The question is about Emperor Caracalla, who granted Roman citizenship to all freemen in the empire and was assassinated by his bodyguard. The religious edict referenced is associated with Emperor Constantine, not Caracalla.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question appears to be asking about the Roman emperor Caracalla, son of Septimius Severus, who co-ruled with his father and later with his brother Geta until Caracalla had him murdered. The reference to the edict granting citizenship to all freemen across the empire and another edict allowing the worship of Christianity seems to conflate Caracalla's actions, particularly the Constitutio Antoniniana (also known as the Edict of Caracalla), which granted Roman citizenship to nearly all freemen in the Roman Empire, with those of Emperor Constantine, who was instrumental in the promotion of Christianity within the empire. Caracalla was indeed assassinated by a member of his bodyguard, which is a detail that matches part of the question. However, the religious edict mentioned aligns with Constantine's reign, during which, the Edict of Milan was issued in 313 CE, effectively authorizing the tolerance of Christianity.
