Video - Emperor Elagabalus: The Wild Ruler of Ancient Rome

Did you know that in ancient Rome, some emperors had a rather peculiar way of ruling their empire? Take Emperor Elagabalus, for example. He was known for his extravagant parties, where he would serve guests food made from gold and pearls. But the most shocking part? Elagabalus would sometimes feed his guests live animals, like flamingos and gazelles, just for entertainment. Talk about a wild party! And if that wasn't extreme enough, he even once tried to appoint his horse as a consul. Yes, you heard that right - a horse as a consul! The Romans sure knew how to spice up their political scene.
