Lately, I’ve been reading about the third-century Roman empire and one of the most enigmatic figures is the short-lived Syrian-born teenage emperor Elegabulus.
Having listened to the podcast, I have to say that Elegabulus makes some of the modern rulers sound a bit ... tame. And his grandmother was definitely a piece of work!
