You have heard me talk about this podcast before and you probably will again a few hundred times more…..this week one of those lesser known but fascinating points in history. This weeks its all about Sex Sun and Assassinations as we look at   Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus. He replaced the traditional head of the Roman pantheon, Jupiter, with a lesser god, Deus Sol Invictus, and forced leading members of Rome’s government to participate in religious rites celebrating this deity, which he personally led. Elagabalus married as many as five times, lavished favors on courtiers popularly assumed to have been his homosexual lovers, and was reported to have prostituted himself in the imperial palace. ” Imagine what the Neocons would do with that. Listen in over at the History of Rome Podcast..104- Here Comes the Sun.
