Heliogabalus pampered his natural good looks by wearing too much makeup.
He used to stand nude at the door of his room in the palace, as harlots do, and shake the curtain which hung from gold rings, while in a soft melting voice he solicited passers by.
He would have been delighted to be called the mistress, the wife, the Queen of Hierocles, whom he referred to as his husband.
