Commentary


Le portrait d’Élagabal n’est pas réaliste. Les scalptores de l’atelier de Rome n’ayant peut-être pas la nouvelle imago de l’empereur qui va mettre un an avant de rejoindre Rome, accompagné de la Pierre Noire.
The portrait of Elagabalus is not realistic. The scalpers in the Roman workshop may not have the new image of the emperor who will take a year to reach Rome, accompanied by the Black Stone.

Historical background


ELAGABALUS

(16/05/218-12/03/222)

Proclaimed emperor on May 16, 218, Elagabalus, sole august until the end of June or the beginning of July, left Syria to join Rome. Elagabalus stops at Nicomedia. He spent the whole winter there and fell ill. It was therefore in this city that he took up his second consulship. Elagabal will not arrive in Rome until July or September 219, bringing the black stone of his cult to install him in his capital. He will never return to Syria, quickly assassinated after an unequaled reign of turpitude and disorder.
