I here ya, old 'chubby' (Elagabalus) is going to have a tough time with an Athenian Owl (and a beautiful one at that).

 

 

Noooooooo! It's not Elagabalus is it? Ah Jeeze i find that particular Emperor offensive. He tried to shut down the Vesta Virgins! Second worst Emperor of them all in my opinion, after Constantine the Great.

 

 

Go Athenian Owl!

What is wrong with Constantine? You yourself called him great, and he was one of the apostles.

I'm a pagan though. Roman Religion as it happens. Elagabalus was bad enough because he was offensive to the old ways. Constantine was worse because he banned it altogether! He's not on my Saternalia card list.

 

I only called him great because i forget his number.

I don't think Constantine banned paganism. He issued the Edict of Milan tolerating Christianity but I don't believe he ever persecuted the old religions, I think he played it both ways including baptism on the death bed.

 

Constantius II was an Arian but he removed pagan symbols throughout the empire. Julian did restore some things but then Theodosius really established Chrstianity (Orthodox catholic Christianity as opposed to Arianism) as the one and only official religion.

 

So I'd say you should hate Theodosius the most.
