Temple of Heliogabalus

Temple of Heliogabalus

L.VII.C
Reconstruction of temple of Heliogabalus. This temple was dedicated to the Syrian Sun-god, Heliogabulus. It was built near the imperial palace on the Palatine by the emperor Elagabulus. Elagabulus, whose religious innovations caused much consternation, provided the sacred stone of the god from his chief sanctuary in Emesa, Syria. He also reportedly moved sacred objects from Roman temples here, including the fire of Vesta, the Palladium, and twelve archaic shields sacred to Mars. After the emperor's assassination, his cousin and successor Alexander Severus rededicated the temple to Jupiter Ultor. Bottom of the description there is a link with screens of model. #Ancient_Rome #Elagabalus #Heliogabalus #Palatine_Hill #Palatino #Palatinus #Roma #Roma_Antica #Roman #Roman_architecture #Roman_Empire #Roman_temple #Rome #SPQR #Temple #Temple_of_Heliogabalus
