+ | [[Image:Elagabalus.jpg|thumb|right|200px|'''[[Elagabalus]]''' was a [[Roman Emperors|Roman emperor]] known for [[perverse]] and [[decadent]] behavior. Due to these associations with [[Roman decadence]], Elagabalus became something of a hero to the [[Decadent movement]] in the [[late 19th century]]. Characterizing him and other historical persons in antiquity as "[[psychopath]]s" — for example, the five "[[mad emperors]]" of [[ancient Rome]]: [[Caligula]], [[Nero]], [[Domitian]], [[Commodus]], and [[Elagabalus]] — is however a retroactive speculation premised on a decidedly modern view of [[human nature]] and individual [[psychology]]. This modern view did not start to develop until the [[Late Middle Ages]], reaching full fruition in the [[Enlightenment]] and [[Romantic movement]] of the [[eighteenth century|eighteenth]] and [[nineteenth century|nineteenth centuries]] ]] | ||
