>The Constitutio Antoniniana was an edict issued in 212 by the Roman Emperor Caracalla declaring that all free men in the Roman Empire were to be given theoretical Roman citizenship and that all free women in the Empire were to be given the same rights as Roman women.
Was this the beginning of the fall of Rome?
How could we possibly answer that?
How could anyone pinpoint the exact edict that began the fall?

Mixed bathing began the fall of Rome.
It certainly didn't help.

Nah, it was really more about making everyone the emperor's subject instead of a dozen different legal categories. Mostly for military enlistment and fiscal uses.
The beginning of the fall was the coincidence of the military anarchy and century of pestilences.
Sounds like an excuse not to do a census.

Doesn't work in this case because Caracalla forced the peregrines (which at the time was more thracians and balkanics in general than germs) into the legion due to a lack of citizen manpower.
