At a grand banquet, when the musicians were playing beautiful music, the guests were drinking wine happily. While drinking, the ceiling above their heads suddenly flipped over, and beautiful flowers poured down, as if the rain of flowers was falling from the sky.
At the beginning, people were still enjoying and caring. The host of this banquet was too romantic. They prepared so many flowers for a banquet. The petals were flying in the air like fairies, landing on the guests' heads, feet, and wine glasses. Some people put down the wine glass and stretched out their hands to welcome the beautiful flowers. Some people took a deep breath and enjoyed the fragrance of flowers.
But gradually, someone was hit by the overwhelming summer flowers and buried under the flowers. The flowers were no longer so light and beautiful, but became so heavy that it was breathless. But the rain of flowers had no intention of stopping at all. People were pressed under the flowers and climbed out with great effort, but they could not climb out of the sea of flowers in the sky. Some of them had already died of suffocation.
At this time, the music was still echoing over the banquet. The owner of the banquet and his relatives were watching the romantic and cruel scene on the stage, talking and laughing, without the intention of stopping the rain of flowers, nor with any intention of rescue. They were just watching them bury in the sea of flowers. ( The story was originally from "The Roman Emperor's Chronicle" )
The host of the banquet was a handsome young man who was only a teenager. He had big eyes and light beards. He opened it so elegantly. His identity was very noble. He was the Rome Emperor Elagabalus. It is said that he ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, but he reigned for only four years.
His real name is Varius Avetus Basianus, and he changed his name to Elagabalus because of his worship of the god of sex in the feniki. It is said that he is a tyrant monarch who is extravagant and extremely extravagant, corrupt and cruel. He can think of such a method and do such cruel things. Just to satisfy his deformed hobbies, life is a joke for him.
The scene of this banquet was later painted by a painter, which is the famous oil painting " Rose of Elaga Balus " . This oil painting on canvas was created in 1888, with a height of 132.7 cm and a width of 212.4 cm. It is the masterpiece of the 19th century British painter Lawrence Alma-Tadma .
This famous painter used his brush to restore this cruel and magical scene, but only painted the violet and other flowers at the banquet into roses. Because in Victorian era roses are a symbol of carnality, decay and depravity.
Please look carefully. The flowers have buried countless people. Beside the marble pillars, the female musician in leopard print clothes is still playing the music. The young man is the lewd Elaga Balus emperor. The woman next to him is his grandmother. It is said that she played a great role in ascending the throne. She holds grapes in her hand, and the woman she forgot to eat is his woman, but she originally had a husband and a child.
flowers were originally a symbol of beauty, but Elagabalus turned it into a weapon of murder and treated death as entertainment. It was so cruel.
