There’s an enduring question as to how reliable the sources are as to Elagabalus’s wishes. As such the question of whether Elagabalus was trans, or nonbinary, remains. I would regard only referring to Elagabalus as a man as inappropriate.

We don’t have to make her fit into a contemporary gender model to respect her clearly stated wishes.

I’d like to ask you about your sources now, but I don’t know how not to make it sound like I don’t believe you :) I just became really interested in Elagabalwhatevertheendingofthenameis and I’d love to read some more. I know nothing about Syrian history, unfortunately.

Rough Roman Memes

!roughromanmemes@lemmy.world

Create post

A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.

RULES:

  1. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.

  2. Memes must be Rome-related, not just the title. It can be about Rome, or using Roman aesthetics, or both, but the meme itself needs to have Roman themes.

  3. Follow Lemmy.world rules.

Not sure where to start on Roman history?
