Elagabolas and Julia Misa

Julia Misa was aiming to become the most powerful woman the empire had ever known. She considered Elagabolas to be merely a puppet, and planned to control every aspect of the imperial administration herself. The thing that perhaps tipped the scales away from Julia Misa is that in addition to being the spoiled son of wealth and power, he had also inherited the high priesthood of the sun god,. which filled the teenager with the sense that he was a quasi divine figure.
