Sculpture of the Roman Emperor Macrinus (reigned 217-218 CE). Macrinus was the prefect of the praetorians and he was supposed to kill Emperor Caracalla in 217 CE. Raised to the Roman throne by the troops subordinated to him, he reigned only a year because he was also killed. It is worth noting that Macrinus was born in northern Africa and was of Berber origin. The object is located in the Capitoline Museums in Rome.
