At the outset of his reign, Caracalla declared divine support for Serapis – an Egyptian god of healing. The Iseum et Serapeum in Alexandria was apparently renovated during Caracalla's co-rule with his father Septimius Severus.

This tells us a LOT

Egypt etc... he had relatives there.

His mother's family was very prominant in the east med region

Looks alpinid to my eyes.

According to Wikipedia: 'Herodian describes Caracalla as having preferred northern European clothing, Caracalla being the name of the short Gaulish cloak that he made fashionable, and he often wore a blond wig. Dio mentions that when Caracalla was a boy, he had a tendency to show an angry or even savage facial expression'.

He was of Punic and Berber origin. And also Syrian. He could have been African Alpine + Arabid.

Syrian Levantine + European Dinarid Cromagnon.

This, I see clearly CM influence.

Probably along with Elagabalus the most un-Roman looking emperor of all. Both represent two sides of Semitic phenotype (a CM like and a modified Med with beady eyes): absolutely foreign to Italy and Europe (unless you take Jews into consideration or recent immigrants from Levant)
