His reign is remembered mainly for sexual scandal and religious controversy. One year before his assassination, his grandmother had appointed his cousin, Severus Alexander, as Caesar. They shared the consulship on 221, but since Elagabalus saw Alexander’s popularity, he stripped his titles and revoked his consulship. The Praetorian Guard demanded to see Alexander after this, and assassinated Elagabalus when he was only 18 years old, on March 11 222 AD. He was beheaded, dragged through the streets, and then thrown into the Tiber.

On 7 March 1809 the revolution was triggered by Georg Adlersparre, who marched upon Stockholm. On 13 March, the King was imprisoned in Gripsholm Castle with his family. Later on that month, he voluntarily abdicated to save the crown for his son, although he could never assume the throne. </i></i></p><p><i><i>[HR][/HR]<i>15/3 351 AD <b>Gallus is given the title of Caesar by Constantius II</b> After Magnentius murdered the emperor Constans, Constantinus II had to move against the usurper. Since he needed a representative for the Eastern part of the Roman Empire, he gave Gallus the title of Caesar. Gallus married Constantinus II’s sister, Constantina, and ruled as Caesar until 354 AD. </i></i></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
