In Amphorisode VI, we get down with Rome's wildest emperor (and that's saying something) Elagabalus! Join us as we look at this icon who ruled the empire for only four years, during which they married at least six people of different genders, including a Vestal Virgin and Rome's star athlete. Plus, they make some of history's first attempts at gender reassignment surgery, kill their wedding guests with dangerous confetti and make the Senate watch them ribbon dance!
