		Heliogabalus was the son of Sextus Varius Marcellus and Julia Soaemias Basssiana, niece of Julia Domna (the wife of Septimius Severus).

		Heliogabalus was at once recognized by the senate as emperor.
		The Syrian god was proclaimed the chief deity in Rome, and all other gods his servants; splendid ceremonies in his honor were celebrated, at which Heliogabalus danced in public, and it was believed that secret rites accompanied by human sacrifice were performed in his honor.
		His popularity with the army declined, and Maesa, perceiving that the soldiers were in favor of Alexander Severus, persuaded Heliogabalus to raise his cousin to the dignity of Caesar (221), a step of which he soon repented.

		This led to the greatest religious confusion and disintegration among the pagans in the city, the Christians affording a marked contrast in the manner in which they maintained the integrity of their faith.
		The repeated attempts of Heliogabalus to encompass his cousin's death were always frustrated by the soldiers.

		Written in 1933, at the time when Artaud was preparing to stage his legendary Theatre of Cruelty, Heliogabalus is a powerful concoction of sexual excess, self-deification and terminal violence – the divine upstart Heliogabalus ends his reign hacked to pieces by his own guards in the latrines of his imperial palace.
		Heliogabalus was Rome’s Emperor from the ages of fourteen to eighteen; his reign was characterized by murder, incest, sodomy, debauchery and an anarchic ridicule for the powers of government.
