ResumoespanolAunque las referencias historiograficas sobre el culto al Sol en epoca de Caracalla son escasisimas, sabemos con certeza que existio un culto muy desarrollado al que el emperador no era ajeno; en parte por eleccion propia, en parte por tradicion familiar. El Sol Invicto se convirtio en uno de los dioses con mas expansion y proyeccion dentro de su reinado, sin pretender como mas tarde haria Heliogabalo, un culto exclusivo. EnglishThough the historiographical references about the cult of Sol Invictus in Caracalla times are very rare, we definitely know for sure that there was a very well developed cult to this god, a cult in which the emperor himself was involved, due in part to his own choice, as well as to a family tradition. Sol Invictus became one of the most widely known and expanded gods within Caracalla's reign, but this emperor did not pretend (as did Heliogabalo later) to make an exclusive cult out of it.
