	The Internet Classics Archive \| Antony by Plutarch
		Her husband, Caius Marcellus, had died not long before, and Antony was now a widower by the death of Fulvia; for, though he did not disavow the passion he had for Cleopatra, yet he disowned anything of marriage, reason as yet, upon this point, still maintaining the debate against the charms of the Egyptian.
		Sextus Pompeius was in possession of Sicily, and with his ships, under the command of Menas, the pirate, and Menecrates, so infested the Italian coast that no vessels durst venture into those seas.
		Sextus had behaved with much humanity towards Antony, having received his mother when she fled with Fulvia, and it was therefore judged fit that he also should be received into the peace.

		Varius was a rebel, and refused to be dominated.
		A similar escort is also attributed to Varius, who is described by the ancient historians as excelling in the ritual dances of the cult of Elaiagabal, in his capacity as high priest.
		Thus, when Varius, the son of Soaemias, was elevated to the purple by the soldiers, on the strength of his alleged descent from Caracalla, it was logical that he should assume the regnal style of his putative father.

	Elagabalus
		On the murder of Caracalla (217), Julia Maesa, Varius's grandmother and Caracalla's aunt, left Rome and retired to Emesa, accompanied by her grandsons (Varius and Severus Alexander).
		Varius, though still only a boy, was appointed high priest of the Syrian sun-god Elagabalus, one of the chief seats of whose worship was Emesa (Homs).
		His beauty, and the splendid ceremonials at which he presided, made him a great favorite with the troops stationed in that part of Syria, and Maesa increased his popularity by spreading reports that he was in reality the illegitimate son of Caracalla.

		The courage of this speech and the fact that there had been found a man to speak out what was in all people's thoughts, had such an effect that the accusers of Terentius were sentenced to banishment or death, their previous offences being taken into account.
		Sextus Marius, the richest man in Spain, was next accused of incest with his daughter, and thrown headlong from the Tarpeian rock.
		The cause was ascribed to his mother who, having been repeatedly repulsed in her overtures, had at last by her arts and seductions driven him to an extremity from which he could find no escape but death.

	Elagabalus Biography
		It was one thing to have an emperor of provincial origin who had risen through the ranks of a military career, as had Pertinax and Septimius Severus; quite another for the Roman world to be ruled by the hereditary priest of an Oriental sun god, a Syrian boy only 14 years old.
		Elagabalus was born Varius Avitus Bassianus, the grandson of Julia Maesa, younger sister of the empress Julia Domna.
		His father, Sextus Verius Marcellus, another Syrian, had risen to the rank of senator under Caracalla; but his mother put it about that his real father was Caracalla, whose memory the army still held dear.

		Marcellus, the father of Aeserninus, though not reckoned a professed pleader, was a prompt, and, in some degree, a practised speaker; as was also his son P. Lentulus.
		Cotta likewise, a man of Praetorian rank, was esteemed a tolerable orator; but he never made any great progress; on the contrary, he purposely endeavoured, both in the choice of his words, and the rusticity of his pronunciation, to imitate the manner of the ancients.
		Scipio likewise was not an unskilful Speaker; and Cnaeus Pompeius, the son of Sextus, had some reputation as an Orator; for his brother Sextus applied the excellent genius he was possessed of, to acquire a thorough knowledge of the Civil Law, and a complete acquaintance with geometry and the doctrine of the Stoics.

		But then Seneca relates what the poet Iulius Montanus was wont to say, that there were certain things he would steal from Virgil, if he might also have his voice and his mouth and his mimicry: for when Virgil read the lines, they indeed sang out; without him, they were lifeless and changed.
		For the rest, he committed his writings to the aforementioned Varius and Tucca, on the condition that they publish nothing which he himself had not revised.
