roses of heliogabalus



videos of pantheon in rome showing a strange ritual on the anniversary of the day nero had christian martyrs smothered to death with the petals of roses.

and there is the more believable tale of a young roman noble man suffocated under rose petals at one of heliogabalus's banquets. laid to rest two thousand years ago no name on his sarcophagus and when that was opened his perfectly preserved body found in those same rose petals that smothered him.
