The Amazing Emperor Heliogabalus - John Stuart Hay

[57] As Tiberius, “Principes mortales, rem publicam aeternam esse” (Ann. iii. 6).

[58] The change of the name to its Greek and commonly received form is 100 years later than Elagabalus, in fact it occurs first in Lampridius, and was seemingly born of the necessity, which had been suggested to Constantine, of connecting the old worship of the only God with that of Mithra the Persian Sun deity.

[59] The number of years in the Liber generationis is, however, debatable, since Rubensohn gives three years in his edition.
