Commentary


Portrait tout à fait exceptionnel pour Élagabal. Nous avons bien l’égide sur le cou. Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié. Manque aux principaux ouvrages consultés.
A truly exceptional portrait of Elagabalus. We have the aegis around our necks. It appears to be completely unpublished and unlisted. Missing from the main works consulted.

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.
