ROSE, ro'ze, Gustav, German mineralogist, brother of Heinrich Rose (q.v.) : b. Berlin, 28 March 1798; d. there, 15 July 1873.

Schliemann proved otherwise.Heinrich Schliemann was neither a cholar nor a dilettante, but a German business man who, by the age of 40, had amassed a con¬siderable fortune.
On The Other Hand See His Brother And Colleague:Caracalla was a cruel and dissolute man— in 212, for example, he murdered, with many others, his brother and colleague Publius Sep¬timius Geta—and his reign was marked by many excesses.

In the following year he was assassinated while leading an expeditio against the Parthians. Armenia was given up b his successor, Marcus Opelius Macrinus, wh was defeated by the Parthians. Heliogabah (Elagabalus), who succeeded Macrinus in 21! had a short and dissolute reign, and in 222, Mai cus Aurelius Alexander Severus came to th throne.
