Both authors were contemporaries, and at least Dio was in Rome at the same time as Elagabalus, so has some value as a potential eye witness. For the reason that the admin of this website is working,

This is a fascinating question, but quite a difficult one to answer for several reasons. Now, to the question of whether we can use the word 'transgender' or not. The emperor, furious at this display of insubordination, ordered the arrest and execution of all those involved. Ultimately we can't know exactly what is true and what isn't in the depictions of Elagabalus. There's even a very brief hint of anti-semitism in Dio's accusation that Elagabalus was circumcised and avoided pork - characteristics of Jewish worship that Romans knew about, but which became part of the stock imagery of weird foreign religion. In response, the members of his own Praetorian guard attacked him and his mother. Ancient historical writing is a genre of literature, written for an audience and with the intention to entertain as well as inform.

First assistant director: Archie Chew (Master of Arts Screen, 2019) On their arrival, the guards began to cheer Alexander, whilst ignoring Elagabalus. god worshipped in Emesa (now Homs).

He was forced to adopt his cousin, Severus Alexander, only 4 years younger than him. Dogs, stags, lions and tigers pulled his chariot, but he was equally likely to arrive at a state function in a wheel-barrow pulled by naked women. When Elagabalus’ grandmother Julia Maesa perceived the decline in support for the emperor, she decided that both Elagabalus and his mother, who had been encouraging his eccentric zealous practices, must be replaced.

Finally, the passages from Dio that suggest he might have attempted something like gender reassignment surgery: [80.11] The offence consisted, not in his introducing a foreign god into Rome or in his exalting him in very strange ways, but in his placing him even before Jupiter himself and causing himself to be voted his priest, also in his circumcising himself and abstaining from swine's flesh, on the ground that his devotion would thereby be purer**. Editor: Nicole Thorn (Graduate Certificate in Editing Drama, 2012) It is interesting that in both his statuary and coinage Elagabalus is depicted in pretty standard ways, even when the god Elagabal is also depicted (e.g. Elagabalus (international premiere)

This is exactly the picture that Herodian and Dio paint of Elagabalus - the decadent, effeminate young Syrian devoted to his strange, foreign god. Change ).

Director/editor: Xanthe Dobbie (Master of Arts Screen, 2019) In terms of sexuality, it mattered more what role a person took in a sex act, rather than whether they were doing it with members of the same or opposite sex. There are three main sources for the short reign of Elagabalus: Herodian, Cassius Dio and the Life of Elagabalus from the Historia Augusta.

he bent his neck so as to assume a ravishing feminine pose, and turning his eyes upon him with a melting gaze, answered without any hesitation: "Call me not Lord, for I am a Lady."

[80.14.3] When trying someone in court he really had more or less the appearance of a man, but everywhere else he showed affectations in his actions and in the quality of his voice.

I'm getting away from Roman history here and so I should probably stop. The state coffers were emptied by extravagances. He was the son of a craftsman and was born and raised in the city centre, where he would live until his death. ._2cHgYGbfV9EZMSThqLt2tx{margin-bottom:16px;border-radius:4px}._3Q7WCNdCi77r0_CKPoDSFY{width:75%;height:24px}._2wgLWvNKnhoJX3DUVT_3F-,._3Q7WCNdCi77r0_CKPoDSFY{background:var(--newCommunityTheme-field);background-size:200%;margin-bottom:16px;border-radius:4px}._2wgLWvNKnhoJX3DUVT_3F-{width:100%;height:46px} Executive producer: Brian Cobb (Graduate Diploma in Producing & Screen Business, 2011) Cinematographer: Sidat de Silva (Master of Arts Screen, 2019) He had planned, indeed, to cut off his genitals altogethe**r, but that desire was prompted solely by his effeminacy; the circumcision which he actually carried out was a part of the priestly requirements of Elagabal, and he accordingly mutilated many of his companions in like manner. For instance, he used to dance, not only in the orchestra, but also, in a way, even while walking, performing sacrifices, receiving salutations, or delivering a speech. .s5ap8yh1b4ZfwxvHizW3f{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);padding-top:5px}.s5ap8yh1b4ZfwxvHizW3f._19JhaP1slDQqu2XgT3vVS0{color:#ea0027} Roman culture and society had totally different concepts of sexuality and gender than we do today, and so to judge any Roman by modern standards could open us up to significant misunderstandings.

By describing Elagabalus in the way he does, Dio is trying to impress his audience with a big finish, and no doubt making moralising points about the state of contemporary Rome compared with its legendary past. He worked with wool, sometimes wore a hair-net, and painted his eyes, daubing them with white lead and alkanet. In terms of gender identity, appearing in public dressed in feminine or exotic clothing, moving the body in ways perceived as effeminate or insisting on being known by feminine names or titles, as Elagabalus is portrayed as doing, would be seen as curious, perhaps even dangerous or insulting to traditional morals, but would not have been considered actually transitioning from one gender identity to another. Elagabalus in Tysens’s Bassianus Varius Heliogabalus (1720) Gysbert Tysens (1693–1732) was one of many people in eighteenth-century Amsterdam who tried to earn a living by writing.
