EX PRETERITUS

Elagabalus 218 - 222

Julia Maesa, the grandmother of Elagabalus, instigated a revolt against Macrinus and claimed that her grandson was the son of Caracalla. Elagabalus defeated Macrinus. He soon became hated by his imposition of his Syrian religion on Rome. Eventually, his own grandmother arranged to have him killed.
