Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (lived 203-222 A.D.)

Better known as Heliogabalus, he became Emperor Augustus of the Romans as a young teenager in 218 A.D., but was never august at all. His lifestyle was like that of a modern rockstar or 'gaylib' celebrity. He was very religious and made the fatal mistake of trying impiously to make his personal deity superior to Jupiter.
