He replaced the traditional head of the Roman pantheon, Jupiter, with the deity Elagabalus, of whom he had been high priest. He forced leading members of Rome's government to participate in religious rites celebrating this deity, over which he personally presided. Elagabalus was supposedly "married" as many as five times, lavishing favours on male courtiers popularly thought to have been his lovers,[3][4] and was reported to have prostituted himself in the imperial palace. His behavior estranged the Praetorian Guard, the Senate, and the common people alike. Amidst growing opposition, Elagabalus, just 18 years old, was assassinated and replaced by his cousin Severus Alexander on 11 March 222, who ruled for 13 years before his own assassination, which marked the epoch event for the Crisis of the Third Century.
this, he would be great
isn't that the gay tranny dude who got killed by his own praetorians or whatever?
even gladiators had a lower mortality rate than emperors wtf
he was the emperor. why not fuck them instead of just watching them
>'Elagabalus' gets made
>SJWs cheer, finally someone shows the "real" Roman history was 20% trannies and 60% gays
>film gets released
>a 2.5 h epic that revives historical Kino
>shows him accurately as a degenerate, mentally ill, cruel tyrant hated by everyone
>SJWs lose their shit
One can dream
They killed the fag! Based!
It's been a almost 2000 years of course they're dead
because unlike drumpf he respected consent
I'm actually impressed naturally is that high
could be poison too
I remember reading a Chinese account of Rome that was something like "every two years, they change the Emperor as is the custom and the old emperor lives the rest of his life in peace."
wtf he was doing all of this shit as a 14 year old
No it was the same, 100%
He also offered massive sums of money to any doctor who could successfully perform a sex change so that he could become a woman. It didn't work out. I think he was also the one who elected men to office depending on the size of their cocks.
The irony is , that Alexander Severus was a relatively good emperor and had pretty good diplomatic policies thanks to his mom. But because of the precedent of that faggot Elegabalus , everyone and especially the militarist factions which were warmongers inside the empire thought they could push him around. His death was one of the biggest disasters in Roman history, because the Severan dynasty maintained a more or less very prosperous and stable empire.
so this is the power of the roman empire
He was eastern scum brought up worshiping their pagan gods. Not a representative of proper western roman values.
he was some eastern temple priest before being an emperor
source?
Finally, he set aside a room in the palace and there committed his indecencies, always standing nude at the door of the room, as the harlots do, and shaking the curtain which hung from gold rings, while in a soft and melting voice he solicited the passers-by. There were, of course, men who had been specially instructed to play their part. For, as in other matters, so in this business, too, he had numerous agents who sought out those who could best please him by their foulness. He would collect money from his patrons and give himself airs over his gains; he would also dispute with his associates in this shameful occupation, claiming that he had more lovers than they and took in more money
trajan was from spain.
You missed the point of that pic completely you are an absolute degenerate and a pleb.
Sauce is Ultraviolet Darling.
sure they weren't talking about republican Rome and its consuls
Can't blame anyone for killing him, I'd have done the same.
The Etruscans were extinct by Elagabalus's time. You'd be Pannonian Boy #5.
Not to mention him being dominated by his mother.
Trajan was from the west.
Wow thanks Mike Duncan I didn't know you posted here.
They straight up tried to erase this guy from history be rewriting official documents and altering his statues.
He was literally embarrassing, but it also wasn't the first time the Empire tried to erase history it found displeasing.
his temple got renamed jupiter avenger cause he had put himself above jupiter
Those shoulders and forearms make me uncomfortable, like they were pressed flat by an iron or something.
You lost those values when you lost the Republic, Cato was right.
Name five hundred and sixty (560) examples of this.
There would still be a Republic had not those 'proper Romans' illegally murdered the divinely-sacrosanct Julius Caesar in contempt of all the gods and forms. 'Rome's best' are who destroyed the Republic.
Mark Antony's treatment after Augustus became princeps comes immediately to mind.
Also had search parties look around the territories for the dudes with the biggest dongs and declared his top seme as emperor.
>A dictatorship in a ll but name would still be a Republic
Every TRUE, HONEST Roman CITIZEN has a obligation to kill tyrants.
I'm not the only one who thinks that looks like David Schwimmer am I?
he does
then the Senate got what it deserved
/thread
every roman historian says trajan had a harem of little boys
why not little girls?
>entire knowledge of him is propaganda by enemies that try to portray him as weak and mentally ill
>gets hauled as a proto LGBT icon
ironic

yeah. spain.
Who was the most sexually perverted caesar?

Interested in the "unknown" category. Did they misplace the Emperor or something?
not great.
men aren't soft and cuddly like woman however I take talking to a guy over a girl any day of the week. women aren't interesting to talk to
