Caracalla and Getta

The feud between Caracalla and Getta not unexpectedly hit a rolling boil the minute Severus died. Fear of their father was just about the last thing keeping the boys in check. After taking up residence in opposite wings of the palace they divided their two halves with hastily constructed barricades manned on each side by armed guards. While en route they did not sleep under the same roof nor did they ever eat at the same table. Colleagues in name only in every other way they were bitter rivals.
