THE ROSES OF HELIOGABALUS
THE ROSES OF HELIOGABALUS
Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1888)
The painting depicts Roman emperor Elagabalus hosting a banquet. There’s a group of Romans dining, being swamped by pink rose petals falling from above. The young Elagabalus, who is wearing a silk robe and tiara is watching from behind with his guests. He buries his guests in flowers and some of them are smothered to death and are unable to crawl to the top.

Ancient Rome through the art of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema.
"Alma-Tadema's highly detailed depictions of Roman life and architecture, based on meticulous archaeological research, led Hollywood directors to his paintings as models for their cinematic ancient world, in films such as D. W. Griffith's Intolerance (1916), Ben Hur (1926), and Cleopatra (1934). The design of the Oscar-winning Roman epic Gladiator (2000) took its main inspiration from his paintings, as well as that of the interior of Cair Paravel castle in The Chronicles of Narnia (2005)" Wikipedia (User:JMF)

THE ROSES OF HELIOGABALUS /1888/ by LAWRENCE ALMA-TADEMA
Elagabalus reigned as the Roman emperor from 218 to 222 A.D. before being murdered at the age of 18. His rule was marked by scandal and excess, even by those living at the same time. Elagabalus is often cited as one of the most unfavourable Roman emperors in history.
This painting portrays the probably false account of Roman emperor Elagabalus, or Heliogabalus, hosting a lavish banquet where he adorned his guests with flowers. As per historical accounts in the Augustan History, guests were showered with flowers from artificial ceilings.
The tale tells of a large amount of flowers dropping from the ceiling and forming such a high pile that a few guests were actually smothered and suffocated to death. Elagabalus is visible observing the scene in the background, positioned second from the left.
For added drama, Alma-Tadema chose to portray all the flowers as roses. During the winter, Alma-Tadema had roses brought from the French Riviera to his studio for four months while painting this piece to make sure the roses were accurately portrayed.
