Elagabalus: Rome's Most Scandalous Emperor

Imagine an emperor so scandalous, Rome barely knew what hit it. Today,

we meet Elagabalus. At just 14, he tried to replace Jupiter with his sun god,

Elagabal. A divine overhaul that shocked Rome to its core! Elagabalus defied all

norms. He dressed in women's clothing, wore makeup, and even reportedly

prostituted himself in taverns. Unbelievable! His personal life was wild.

He married a Vestal Virgin, breaking sacred law, and even married a male chariot

driver. Pure scandal! Banquets were epic. Guests were showered with flower petals,

sometimes to the point of suffocation. An unforgettable, and dangerous, party!
