This study examines the reign of Emperor Elagabalus (218-222 CE), focusing on his effort to integrate Eastern religious practices into the Roman imperial cult. By analyzing historical accounts, numismatic evidence, and archaeological findings, I argue that Elagabalus’s reign represents a significant moment of cultural and religious hybridization in the Roman Empire.

Abstract
This study examines the reign of Emperor Elagabalus (218-222 CE), focusing on his effort to integrate Eastern religious practices into the Roman imperial cult. By analyzing historical accounts, numismatic evidence, and archaeological findings, I argue that Elagabalus’s reign represents a significant moment of cultural and religious hybridization in the Roman Empire.
