How much of that is reliable remains to be seen: it seems the standard historical treatment of failed emperors. In subsequent history, he is also depicted as a cruel pervert, a small Nero so to speak. In this way, Elagabalus made many enemies in the shortest time possible, and was finally hacked to pieces by his own Praetorian Guards. Conservative Romans were forced to participate in the new rites.

He brought this cult (in the form of a phallic-shaped meteorite) with him to Rome and even placed El-Gabal above the traditional Roman deity Jupiter. His short reign would be marred by religious controversy - Elagabalus was born in Syria and had served as hereditary priest of the Emesan sun deity El-Gabal. Elagabalus was put on the throne in 218 after the assassination of the previous emperor, Caracalla, whose grandson he was. His name is more properly Elagabalus and he was Roman emperor from 218 to 222.
