Abstract:

This chapter first surveys the reign of Elagabalus, especially his rise to power, his religion, and his presentation by Dio. It then provides commentary on Dio’s narrative of his reign. Dio approaches his subject less chronologically than thematically, to create an image of the emperor on the basis of his Syrian background, effeminacy, and cruelty. The focus on Elagabalus’ vices, his foreignness and his worship of a foreign sun god, his many marriages, and his constant contravention of custom adds to the overall moralizing tone of the book that seems to reflect Dio’s disgust toward Elagabalus. It is easy to view this book as the product of a man weary with his work and disillusioned by the descent of Rome.

Abstract:

This chapter provides an overview of book 79(78) of Dio’s history, including chronology and Dio’s use of source material. It then gives commentary on important aspects of Dio’s narrative. Within a chronological framework, Dio employs three major themes: Caracalla’s, Macrinus’ rise and fall, and Elagabalus’ rise. Dio moves from a focus on the East to the events in Rome, with a return to action in the East. He closely ties together Caracalla’s Parthian campaign and murder, alternating with anecdotes about the emperor’s way of life, the omens predicting his death, and public reaction. For Macrinus’ reign, Dio employs a somewhat regular annalistic approach, in which the urban affairs of Rome take first position and are followed by foreign affairs (usually centered around military campaigns) and then a final chapter.

Abstract:

Early cinema, this chapter argues, struggled to balance the competing claims of moral purpose and entertainment where the legacy of Roman error was concerned. At the same time, cinema also sought to redefine and outperform other modes of classical reception (such as theatre, opera, painting, and the novel). Through a close examination of the French film Héliogabale, ou l’orgie romaine (Elagabalus, or the Roman Orgy), this chapter reveals how this dynamic plays out in the case of the boy-ruler viewed by tradition as the worst of Roman emperors. While the film’s concluding punishment of the emperor by a virile praetorian guard evokes contemporary French discourses of regeneration out of national decline, The Roman Orgy also displays an internal conflict in lingering pleasurably over Elagabalus’s transgressions. In this, its central character becomes device for cinematic mise-en-abyme, a technique that reflects the broader cultural debate over cinema in France.

Abstract:

This historical commentary examines books 79(78)–80(80) of Cassius Dio’s Roman History, which cover the period from the death of Caracalla in 217 B.C. to the reign of Severus Alexander and Cassius Dio’s retirement from political life in A.D. 229 Cassius Dio, a Roman senator, provides a valuable eyewitness account of this turbulent period, which was marked by the assassination of Caracalla; the rise of Macrinus, Rome’s first equestrian emperor, and his subsequent overthrow; the tempestuous, and by all accounts peculiar, reign of Elagabalus; and the continuation of the Severan dynasty under the young Severus Alexander. In addition to elucidating important passages from these books, this study assesses Cassius Dio’s political life and its relationship to his literary career; his call to history and time of composition; his historical method; and his attitude toward and subsequent presentation of the later Severan dynasty. In its investigation of books 79(78)–80(79), the work assesses an important stretch of Dio’s actual text, which for other parts has been preserved largely in epitome and excerpts. Finally, the work aims to fill a gap in scholarship, as no commentary on these books of Cassius Dio’s history has been produced since the nineteenth century, and its publication coincides with a renewed interest in the history and historiography of the Severan period.
