Elagabalus

Roman emperor from 218 to 222

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (born Varius Avitus Bassianus; c. 204 – 13 March 222), known as Elagabalus ( EL-ə-GAB-ə-ləs), was Roman emperor from 218 to 222, while he was still a teenager. His short reign was notorious for religious controversy and alleged sexual debauchery. A close relative to the Severan dynasty, he came from a prominent Syrian Arab family in Emesa (Homs), Syria, where he served as the head priest of the sun god Elagabal from a young age.
