Elagabalus

Okay.

Heliogabalus, also known as Ba-

[laughs] Making up words, bro.

Heliogabalus.

[laughs]

Also known as Elagabalus-

Yeah, a different time

timeIn 221, when Emperor Elagabalus was killed, Alec took over, but his run was primarily his mother and grandmother telling him what to do.

Alex was actually approved of by Roman civilians.

He was very popular amongst the civilians of Rome, and the Christians and the Jews at that time of Rome liked him, too.

The flesh of young camels is also often eaten.

The Roman emperor Heliogabalus, is said to have reckoned camel's feet one of the daintiest dainties of his sumptuous banquets, and he considered a portion of tender camel roast a thing to be by no means despised.

To this day, indeed, camel's hump cut into slices and dissolved in tea is counted a relish by the tartar tribes.

Camel's skin is made into straps and sandals, while brushes and robes, clothes and tents, sacks and carpets are made entirely from camel's hair.

So that's hard to say because I think there's certain time periods where you could say yes, but then in certain time periods it gets better.

Like if you get in the mid third century, there's an emperor named Elagabalus and he's a teenager that ends up becoming emperor.

And he's the priest of a cult called Elagabal.

They basically worship this conical black rock.

So he manages to pull in all these titles and create this new position that doesn't exist, and he's just protecting the republic, right? Of course.

So he's kind of chief in a lot of places.

Now getting back to Elagabalus.

So in becoming emperor, he also would have been Pontifex Maximus.
